#IllusionsOfGrandeur is the seventeenth episode of Season 1 of DC Super Hero Girls.
Plot[]
At the pier, Ace of Spades is performing street magic, and Zee tries to expose him as a "flim-flam man", but the crowd boos her magic and praises Ace of Spades. Zee casts a spell on him and when he opens his shirt to show his torso for a magic trick, instead of the Ace of Spades there's a design of a monster's face on his torso. The audience jeers him and disperses, then monsters start emerging from his chest and they take over the amusements at the pier. Zatanna and Bumblebee try to stop them by force and fail, and afterwards, they put up a magic show to grab the monsters' attention. They get the monsters to cram themselves into a wardrobe as "volunteers from the audience", and then Zatanna makes them disappear.
