As Anthony leaves, Greg asks the camera if you want to see some magic tricks? Oh, they do! He slaps hands with Anthony who appears in and out briefly. Greg needs some magic things. First, he needs his magic cape. Anthony arrives with a cape and Greg puts that on. Now he needs a magic hat. Anthony arrives with a hat and Greg puts that on too.

He waves the wand over the bag and then reaches in but there's no magic hankies! He shows everyone the inside of the bag again and it's empty. Oh, he forgot to say the magic words. How silly. He asks the audience if they can all help him say the magic words which are "Wiggle Waggle." And wave your fingers in the air at the count of 3. Greg counts to 3 and waves his fingers at the bag, saying "Wiggle Waggle!" Greg looks surprised. He reaches in and pulls out a pink hankie. Let's try again. He shows the bag is empty and then readies everyone for the count to 3. 1, 2, 3, Wiggle Waggle. Greg reaches in and pulls a green magic hankie. Let's try one more time. Maybe they can get a big magic hankie. Here we go, 1, 2, 3, Wiggle Waggle. Greg pulls out a huge magic hankie. Put your hand up if you did that. Wow, it's bigger than I thought. It's time for another trick. He has a vase of magic flowers. Well the vase is empty but with some magic we can get some. He takes the big magic hankie and covers the vase. He asks for help one last time. 1, 2, 3, Wiggle Waggle. He pulls the hankie and the vase is full of flowers! Anthony asks the audience if they helped and to give yourselves a magic clap.

## Trivia

* This is the first remake video, along with Wiggle Time!, Yummy Yummy, Wake Up Jeff!, which was released the same day.
* Ponies and Five Little Ducks make their video debuts.
* The Australian VHS and DVD, as well as the original UK VHS, have an alternate version of Whenever I Hear This Music with sound effects in it.
* The audio track of the Australian VHS and DVD, as well as the original UK VHS, is made up of mono mixes panned slightly to the left or right, except for the concert footage which is proper stereo. In addition, Murray is seen miming guitar in Marching Along, but no notes are heard. The North American VHS, Hong Kong VCD, and UK Double Bill VHS and DVD have every studio song re-dubbed with their stereo album versions (although Quack Quack remains in mono), and Marching Along is given a guitar track. Because of this change, the sound effects in Whenever I Hear This Music are gone, and the clapping sound effects in Captain Feathersword are replaced. The North American DVD also uses this version, however only the left channel is heard (as evidenced by some of the kangaroo "Boing!" sounds in Here Comes a Bear being muted), making it mono once again.
* This is the first Wiggles video to use the 1998-2008 ABC For Kids promo.
	+ It's basically just the opening sequence of ABC For Kids: Featuring Banana Holiday and Lots of Other Great Songs, but edited to remove the part where the video's title is being formed, and adding in clips from other ABC For Kids videos at the time (including Wiggledance!).
* This is the first video to use a classic cartoon from the Warner Bros. sound effects since The Wiggles Movie.
* This is the first video that didn't end with The Wiggles saying goodbye to the viewers.
* This is the first video (besides the Wiggles Movie) that the Wiggly Medley is featured in.
* The video was uploaded on YouTube starting February 3, 2019 as part of the Classic Wiggles series.
* The US DVD was released 9 days before Santa's Rockin was released in Australia.
* The opening part where The Wiggles Logo appears in a black background and a clock is shown afterwards would later be used for Wiggles previews from Lyrick Studios.
* Songs from this video can be seen in The Wiggles (TV Series 1) and The Wiggles (TV Series 2).
* In the US small clamshell VHS back cover, Wave to Wags is listed as Wave To Wags the Dog.
* In this video, Five Little Ducks is filmed in concert, It wasn't filmed in the studio until Racing to the Rainbow.
* The white duck costume in Five Little Ducks was later reused in El Pato from 2004's Cold Spaghetti Western, although in El Pato, Brett Clarke wore the costume, whereas in Five Little Ducks from this video, Anthony's brother Paul wore it.
* This is The Wiggles' first video remake, the others include Wiggle Time!, Yummy Yummy, Wake Up Jeff! on the same year as this video, Here Comes The Big Red Car and It's Time to Wake Up Jeff! (also known as Wiggle Around the Clock in America) in 2006, Hot Potatoes! The Best of The Wiggles in 2014 and Wiggly, Wiggly Christmas! in 2017.
* The American DVD was pressed on August 31, 2004, two months before release.

### Goofs

* The Wiggles Logo was removed from the spine in the US DVD.
