Theo Stein-Meyer

Theo Stein-Meyer is a member of the Magic Misfits magic club and a main character in the series who is skilled at levitation magic.

Early Life
Theo comes from a very large and artistic family.

The Magic Misfits(The First Book)
Theo and Carter met when a barbershop quartet of Frown Clowns (The Pock Pickets) pick-pocketed a group of people. While Theo played a tune, Carter returned the items. Later they, along with Leila Vernon, Ridley Larsen, and twins Izzy and Olly exposed B. B. Bosso (a no-good criminal circus owner) during a major performance. Afterwards the six form the Magic Misfits magic club.

The Second Story
In the second book Theo is seen with the other Misfits at their club meetings. He goes with them to the rear wing of the Grand Oak Resort and he and Carter (both a bit nervous) stand watch. He supports Leila with Carter when Leila's "real" parents come to "claim" her. During the break-in at the Magic Shop Theo came with the rest of the Misfits and levitated Frown Clown Tommy. At the end he calls Leila to come see a new trick he's mastered.

The Minor Third
Theo stars as the main character in Book 3 of the series. His family is also introduced, as well as the 6th member of the Emerald Ring and his daughter, whom Theo has a crush on. His family, especially his brother Leo, try to convince him magic is for kids. He also participates in the talent show, but is disqualified for being in two acts.

Personality
Theo is overall friendly although a bit formal.

Carter Locke
Carter and Theo are good friends and often help each other out. It can also be inferred that Carter has confided or talked about some of his struggles to Theo, since there was a point that Theo made in The Minor Third saying Carter had talked to him, though that could have been to the whole group.

Leila Vernon
Theo is a long-time friend of Leila.

Ridley Larsen
Although he finds her a little exasperating at times due to Ridley's natural leadership roles and know-it-all attitude, the two are still good friends. They have been friends for as long as they can remember and it's hinted throughout the third book that Ridley may have a small crush on Theo.

The Other Mr. Vernon
Theo enjoys The Other Mr. Vernon's cooking like the other Misfits.

Emily Meridian
Theo becomes friends with Emily Meridian after she saves the Misfits from some bullies in the park. She turns out to be the daughter of the music shop's owner, Mick Meridian, and she and Theo spend much of the time leading up to the Mineral Wells Talent Show together. At the end of the book, when Emily and her father have left town, Emily sends Theo her father's box from his time in the Emerald Ring and both she and Theo hope to see each other again.
