Synopsis

• "The Case of the Real-Gone Flash!": Citizen Abra, a criminal from the 64th Century, travels back in time because his era has become so technologically advanced that "stage magic" no longer impresses anyone. Using 64th-century tech that looks like magic, he begins a crime spree in Central City. When the Flash interferes, Kadabra uses a "clapping" device to vanish the Flash into space. Barry must use his speed and scientific knowledge to return to Earth and outmaneuver the man from the future.
• "The Secret of the Triple-Exposed Flash!": In the Kid Flash backup, Wally West is photographed in his super-speed state, leading to a "triple-exposed" image that threatens to reveal his secret identity. Wally has to find a way to discredit the photo while stopping a local gang of thieves.
