Everything is not what it seems -- unless it's the official trailer for "Wizards Beyond Waverly Place."

The trailer for the "Wizards of Waverly Place" spin-off series debuted Tuesday, and it reunites Selena Gomez with her onscreen brother, David Henrie.

Henrie takes center stage in the trailer, reprising his role from the original Disney Channel series as Justin Russo. The series follows an adult Justin, who is now married with two sons and has chosen to live a mortal life without magic. That is until his sister Alex (Gomez) shows up with the powerful young wizard Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) and asks for his help in her wizard training.
