Real Magic

Real Magic is Teen Titans Go! Season 1, Episode 26a, and the 51st overall episode of the series.

Summary
Robin starts performing magic tricks after seeing the Amazing Mumbo Jumbo, much to the delight of the other Titans-- except Raven, who warns Robin that doing lame tricks will upset the Magic God.

Plot
The Teen Titans are outside a restaurant, where Cyborg is talking about his favorite TV show. They go inside to see Mumbo Jumbo robbing the place and holding people hostage with his magic. Instead of fighting him, Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, and Beast Boy become impressed with his magic and ask him to do more tricks. Mumbo humors them with several tricks, and robs them in the process. For his final trick, Mumbo attempts to escape, but is captured by Raven, who teleports him to prison.

Inspired by Mumbo's magic performance, Robin decides to do magic tricks of his own. He shows the Titans an illusion that looks like he removes his thumb from his hand. Everyone but Raven is impressed. Raven warns Robin that if he continues to do lousy tricks, he will anger the Magic God. Robin ignores Raven and continues to do tricks.

Later, Robin ties himself up and tries to escape a water tank. The other Titans wait with anticipation, but Robin ultimately fails, and dies. Robin's ghost exits his body and floats upwards toward heaven. Raven becomes angry, teleports his body to safety, and grabs Robin's spirit with her magic. She uses her magic to put his spirit back into his body and wakes him up. The Titans are amazed that Robin was the first magician to ever die and then live to tell about it.

The next day, Raven tries to get some breakfast out of the fridge, but her powers aren't working well. Robin calls her communicator and asks her to meet him on the roof. When she gets up there, Robin makes her turn around to see a gigantic monster bunny in a gigantic hat. The Titans begin to battle the monster, but more monsters arrive, and a portal captures Robin and Raven.

Raven and Robin find themselves in another dimmension, standing before the Magic God. The Magic God angrily orders them to do an impressive trick or be destroyed. Raven uses her magic to teleport a monster, freeze it, and destroy it. The god is not pleased, and reveals that it is not Robin he is mad at, rather it is Raven, for her negativity to Robin. Robin performs a trick to impress the god, but he still banishes Raven in the mines of another world. Robin begs the god to give Raven a second chance, and he finally does. Robin tells Raven to do the thumb trick, which she does, and the god becomes impressed. He spares them both and sends them home.

Back at the Tower, Raven thanks Robin for saving her, and swears that from now on she will be more positive. Robin doesn't answer, and begins to spit out ping pong balls. The episode ends with Robin pretending to spit up thousands of ping pong balls as his final magic trick.
