A new student at Tanenashi high school (his name is never revealed) is required to join a club, and becomes curious about the 'Fun Magic Club'. But he finds that Tejina-senpai, the club leader, is about the worst magician in the world, being totally incompetent at it and having severe stage fright as well. All she has going for her is a sincere love of magic and a refusal to give up. She drafts him as her 'assistant' (though even he can perform magic tricks better than she can), and largely out of pity he accepts the role.

Tejina-Senpai
(All episodes watched):
I found this to be a fairly funny show, though, as 'Assistant' put it, sometimes 'much too vulgar'. The jokes often involve tricks gone wrong leaving Tejina in embarrassing and suggestive positions. But it doesn't feel 'dirty' since these things happen by accident and nothing perverted happens when they do. Perhaps because the main character is so bad at magic and is often humiliated, you can feel sorry for her and wish for her to get better at it. She's not a total airhead and has a handicap--her stage fright--which you would like to see her overcome. That's important, and since there are some genuine laughs to be had, this seemed like a fun show that I decided to watch. Unfortunately, the show itself doesn't seem to do much to emphasize this notion that she is a plucky person who deserves to accomplish something, instead it is content to ride on fanservice and modest jokes. A major opportunity wasted. Some additional characters beyond Tejina and assistant are added, but they have little more than one shallow gimmick each as a personality. Whereas episode one seemed novel and funny--it's telling that I rewatched it the next day--the premise gets kind of tired with time, perhaps because the show is so unambitious. It is amusing but hardly hilarious. I'm glad it is a short rather than a full-length anime. If only a little effort had been made to depict this girl as something more than a pair of tits and an ass this show might have been something more than briefly amusing but otherwise forgettable.
