Once upon a time, the entire clip of this sketch was available on-line. It's been removed from YouTube but I found it here in a shortened version.

I Tap My Magic Wand

I really have hopes that when I buy "Barbie's Dream House" (the euphemism my daughter and I use for our future house), a smaller version of this will be in my library. Go »
