Post Credit Scene
Micky tries to recreate a magic act he watched as a child for Cilla by placing an egg into a cardboard box and saying a magic word in the hope it will turn into a chicken. He tries, but fails so gives Cilla the wand. A loud "magical" noise is heard and Micky is forced to chase a live chicken around the Maguire kitchen. He picks up a cricket bat and is seen swinging it before the camera cuts to a view from inside an oven where a chicken is seen cooking. Micky's face is soon on the outside, smiling and happily making a rude hand gesture at the chicken.
