After a bout of magic practice, Twilight is busy modestly shrugging off praise from Spike, who is impressed by the variety of magical spells she can accomplish. Suddenly, they learn from [[Those Two Guys|two excitable boy unicorns]], Snips and Snails, that "The Great and Powerful" Trixie is in Ponyville to perform her magic show. Twilight and her friends go see the show, but some of the others quickly grow tired of Trixie's boasting that she's the greatest magician in all Equestria and her tall tales about her defeat of a bear-like monster called the Ursa Major, and Rainbow Dash starts heckling her.

=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Absentee Actor]]: The first episode to [[Demoted to Extra|reduce several mane-players to background characters]]. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy appear as spectators for Trixie's magic show, but otherwise play no part in the episode's events.
Line 41 ⟶ 37:
* [[By the Lights of Their Eyes]]: When Snips and Snails enter the cave.
* [[Celestial Body]]: The Ursas.
* [[Cool and Unusual Punishment]]: [[Badass Mustache|Number 25]].
* [[Early-Bird Cameo]]: Cheerilee appears for the first time as a background pony in this episode, though she wouldn't actually play a role in the show until [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Ursas
* [[Everything's Worse with Bears]]: The Ursa Major (and Minor).
Line 58 ⟶ 54:
* [[Magicians Are Wizards]]: All unicorns have some degree of magic, but Trixie augments hers in her stage act with fireworks and smoke bombs.
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Trixie is a unicorn who does magic tricks.
* [[Miles Gloriosus]]: Played with. Trixie claimed to be powerful enough as to defeat a powerful monster called an Ursa Major, and when Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Rarity challenged her to a skills duel, she defeated them by interfering with their own tricks rather than by displaying superior skill. May come with a side of [[
* [[Monster Is a Mommy]]: The Ursa Minor is gigantic and took Twilight at her strongest to placate, much less "defeat." It's about the same size as the dragons usually depicted as the most dangerous creatures in the series. [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/6916 The Ursa Major]{{Dead link}} is [[Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever|pretty much a MLP]] [[Kaiju]]. Given how protective mother bears are of their young, Ponyville is seriously lucky Twilight avoided a [[Beowulf|Grendel]] [[Mama Bear|situation.]]
* [[
* [[Political Correctness Gone Mad]]: On [[Treehouse TV]] airings of the episode, an entire line said by Trixie is silenced.
{{quote|'''Trixie:''' When Trixie is through, the only thing they'll call you [Rainbow Dash] is "loser".}}
Line 76 ⟶ 72:
* [[Third Person Person|Third-Pony Pony]]: The Great and Powerful Trixie!
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: [[Squick|There's a lot of things wrong with your hair]], Rarity. It being ''green'' is the least of them.
* [[Word, Schmord]]: How Rainbow Dash disapproves of Trixie showing off, following a glare from Applejack when Rainbow herself starts bragging.
{{quote|''Yeah! Uh, magic schmagic! Boo!''}}
* [[You Do NOT Want to Know]]: When asked what an Ursa Major is like, Twilight gives this response. Not [[Scare Chord|before showing]] the audience, however.
