Johnny's Thunderbolt manifests itself invisibly in this story making it appear as if Johnny's magic actually works on people around him, rather than his Thunderbolt.

This story was not originally titled.

Synopsis:
Johnny Thunder receives theatre tickets from an unknown woman. He escorts Daisy Darling to the show hoping that he can impress her. Johnny's mysterious contact requests that he pay special attention to the stage magician Hoco. Johnny goes on stage during Hoco's act and discovers that the magician is passing counterfeit money.
