PlotThe story opens with a young boy named Joey being given a gift by his father: The gift is a video called "Tim Ferrit and Friends." As Joey begins watching the video, his parents discuss how some people are terrible parents who need to get more involved in their children's lives. Personal attention is the key to being a good parent, Joey's father states authoritatively; meanwhile, his son is being taught some rather odd lessons by Uncle Devil, the obviously demonic host of a Bozo The Clown/Mister Rogers-like children's show. Uncle Devil, along with telling children to eat more sweets and not to brush their teeth, teaches real magic tricks. Joey attempts to repeat the tricks Uncle Devil teaches, first trying his hand at a trick which when performed by Uncle Devil makes flowers appear out of an urn. When Joey attempts this feat, however, cockroaches emerge from the urn. Every trick Joey attempts only makes the world around him stranger and stranger—one trick mutates the dog—while his parents remain oblivious. The story climaxes when Uncle Devil teaches the "Big Wish." Joey wishes that his toy dinosaur was real and outside a life-sized dinosaur attempts to enter the house. The TV show ends and the world seemingly returns to normal. Joey is called to dinner, and as he runs to the living room, a new episode on the tape begins. This time, it's called "Tim Ferrit in Hell," and comical cockroaches begin to crawl out of the urn. External links
