The Mysterious Device

'The Mysterious Device' is the sixth sketch of the second series of the 'James, Phil and Timmy' videos. It was written by James Matthews, who also stars. It was uploaded on the 24th March 2013 and is 3 minutes and 36 seconds in length. It is followed by 'The Lottery Ticket'.

Synopsis
Phil appears to have found a device that can apparently communicate with the dead, so the gang try to test it out.

Plot
Phil excitedly tells James and Timmy that he has traded an item with a gypsy for a magical stone that can contact the dead. James thinks this is ridiculous but Timmy seems interested. Phil attempts to test the stone out and asks if any spirits are listening. He tells them that they should knock on the door if they hear him. Knocking is heard on the door, causing Timmy to smash through a window in fear to escape the room. Phil then admits to James that he was only joking. Phil reveals that it was Sid the Burglar who knocked on the door. After Sid leaves, James tells Phil off for letting him into the house as he can't be trusted. Phil then tells James he needs to give the stone back to the gypsy in order to get back the item he traded for it. After James asks what his item was, Phil reveals that it was James' car keys.

Story Arc
In this sketch, Sid the Burglar makes a brief appearance as he was the one helping Phil play his prank. Sid is an old school friend of Phil's and first appeared in 'Burglar Break-In'.
