Ace of Wands Cast

A bizarre troupe of travelling players dressed as playing-card characters is run by the eccentric Uncle Harry; operating out of their brightly-decorated bus they journey across the country visiting schools and entertaining the pupils. However, these good intentions hide a sinister motive, for when the act reaches the part involving the Joker, Uncle Harry’s ventriloquist dummy, the children suddenly go berserk and wreck their classrooms. Learning of the strange behaviour of the schoolchildren, Tarot and his friends investigate; while the magician looks into a company called ‘Spells on Wheels’, Lulli poses as a hitch-hiker and thumbs a lift with Uncle Harry and his players. However, the Joker has realised Lulli is not what she seems, and has set a trap for her…
