After the show, the boys put the finishing touches on
the illusion. I was going over a backstage when Rooda
rushed in as though ghost for that what what?

Speaker 3 (01:29):
They were wearing.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
Masks and carrying bags.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
If did they see you, I don't know.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
But when they drove away, I saw the license number
of their carm and I wrote it down so I
wouldn't forget it. I have a piece of paper right
here in my bag. Oh, I'm so nervous.

get down.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
We'll let you have it very well. Where that was easy?
Speaker 3 (01:59):

mits up in the air, can it?

Speaker 7 (02:09):
Wise cracks, magicians just keep reaching. Hurry up, Jake, find
out what's in that chain's handbag? Yeah, give me time.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
There's nothing important in that bag.
Speaker 7 (02:17):
No, we saw the dame right and something, so look
for hunk of paper, Jake.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Yeah, yeah, Clipper, ye'll hear it is what's on it?

Speaker 3 (05:43):
You will have plenty of time to figure it out, Clipper.
Speaker 6 (05:46):
Just about twenty years.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
But why wasn't Rhodes saw it in half?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
Like?
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Because that was a new illusion Blackstone was building.
Speaker 6 (06:02):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
Saw a woman hath with a buzz saw with a
buzz saw without hurting her? Yes, same thing I do
at every show, and does it always work? I'll say
it does. If it didn't, Broder wouldn't be here to
tell you that it did.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
It's like all Blackstone's magic. It never fails.
Speaker 7 (06:18):
But doesn't it ever worry your ronor well never.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Since that first try out when we have those bank
robbers as an audience.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
And they're still wondering how it was done.
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Yes, and you had me wondering two Blackstone.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Just as you're ded with those tricks you showed us
last time. We'd like to see some more of them.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Good, Well, here's one so easier to really fool you.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
That sounds and drinking. What do you use these.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
Coins here in my fist? Listen, I'll pup I have
here buy some coins and your fists? Good? Do you
know how many coins?
Speaker 6 (06:48):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:49):
I don't.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Well, I'll tell you I have three coins.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Their value is exactly thirty five cents.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
But one of them isn't a nickel.
Speaker 7 (06:57):
You said three coins worth thirty five.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Cents, that's right, But one of them isn't a nickel,
that's right.
Speaker 5 (07:04):
I'll wait now, a quarter and a dime that would
be two coins.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
But I have three exactly three three dimes.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
No, that would be only thirty cents and my.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Three coins make thirty five cents.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Well, I give up.
Speaker 7 (07:17):
Let's see those wonderful coins.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
There they are a quarter.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And two nickels, three coins that total thirty five cents.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Which you said, I have three coins, but one of
them isn't a nickel.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Certainly I was speaking of the quarter. It isn't a nickel,
is it?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Why? No? There you are three coins, but one of
them isn't a nickel.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Only the other two are.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Catch on, say that's a fooler. Sounds like one thing,
but it means another. But you won't fool me like
that again, black staff, won't I?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Well, let's try.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Here. We have six classes of merry drinking glasses. I'm
going to set them.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
In a row.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Hm, six glasses in the row?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
What next?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Roda starts from the left.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And fill three glasses from this beverage bottle. Here's one,
and here's two, and here's three. Now there you are
six glasses in a row. The three of the left
are filled with the finest devery, but.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
The three at the right are empty.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Exactly. Now, the trick is you are to rearrange those
glasses so that every odd one is full and every
even one empty.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
You mean so that there will be a full glass.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Then an empty, then another full glass, another empty, another full,
finally an empty.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We must finish with the glasses alternating full and empty.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Why, that's easy if we move the one on the
left and then the one on the right.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Wait a minute, Rhoda, you're only allowed to move one glass.
Only one glass. Boy, it can't be done that easy before, Yes,
it can. Suppose we let Rhoda try to figure it out.
I'll be back in a few moments to see how
she's made up.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And now, Blackstone. Those six glasses, well.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
There there are six glasses. The three on the left
full of our most enticing.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Beverage, and the three on the right are empty.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, now you are to move one glass without touching
any others, and make the glasses full and empty alternately
from left to right.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I just can't do a Blackstone. I've been trying and trying.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I'll show you how I pick up the middle glass
of the three full ones of the left.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
But where you're gonna put it.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's not where I put that glass. What counts is
where I put the beverage it contains.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Oh, you mean you gotta not yet.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I'm going to pour the liquid from this class into
the middle class of the three empties on the right. Now,
my original class is empty, so I put it right
back where I picked it up, between the two full
glasses at the left, and there you have it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Say that does solid full empty?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
See that's the one you poured from full empty, full,
that's the one you poured.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Into and empty.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Say that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I thought you'd enjoy it, and I'm sure our friends
listening and will also play it on their friends. Now
until meet again, This is Blackstone saying good magic and goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
See with us next time.
Speaker 7 (10:54):

Speaker 3 (07:21):
And two nickels, three coins that total thirty five cents.
Speaker 5 (07:25):
Which you said, I have three coins, but one of
them isn't a nickel.
Speaker 2 (07:30):
Certainly I was speaking of the quarter. It isn't a nickel,
is it?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Why? No? There you are three coins, but one of
them isn't a nickel.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
Only the other two are.
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Catch on, say that's a fooler. Sounds like one thing,
but it means another. But you won't fool me like
that again, black staff, won't I?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Well, let's try.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Here. We have six classes of merry drinking glasses. I'm
going to set them.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
In a row.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Hm, six glasses in the row?
Speaker 6 (08:06):
What next?
Speaker 3 (08:06):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Roda starts from the left.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
And fill three glasses from this beverage bottle. Here's one,
and here's two, and here's three. Now there you are
six glasses in a row. The three of the left
are filled with the finest devery, but.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
The three at the right are empty.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Exactly. Now, the trick is you are to rearrange those
glasses so that every odd one is full and every
even one empty.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
You mean so that there will be a full glass.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Then an empty, then another full glass, another empty, another full,
finally an empty.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
That's right.
Speaker 3 (08:47):
We must finish with the glasses alternating full and empty.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Why, that's easy if we move the one on the
left and then the one on the right.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
Wait a minute, Rhoda, you're only allowed to move one glass.
Only one glass. Boy, it can't be done that easy before, Yes,
it can. Suppose we let Rhoda try to figure it out.
I'll be back in a few moments to see how
she's made up.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And now, Blackstone. Those six glasses, well.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
There there are six glasses. The three on the left
full of our most enticing.
Speaker 4 (09:32):
Beverage, and the three on the right are empty.
Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yes, now you are to move one glass without touching
any others, and make the glasses full and empty alternately
from left to right.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I just can't do a Blackstone. I've been trying and trying.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
I'll show you how I pick up the middle glass
of the three full ones of the left.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
But where you're gonna put it.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It's not where I put that glass. What counts is
where I put the beverage it contains.
Speaker 4 (09:59):
Oh, you mean you gotta not yet.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
I'm going to pour the liquid from this class into
the middle class of the three empties on the right. Now,
my original class is empty, so I put it right
back where I picked it up, between the two full
glasses at the left, and there you have it.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
Say that does solid full empty?
Speaker 5 (10:22):
See that's the one you poured from full empty, full,
that's the one you poured.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Into and empty.
Speaker 6 (10:31):
Say that's great.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
I thought you'd enjoy it, and I'm sure our friends
listening and will also play it on their friends. Now
until meet again, This is Blackstone saying good magic and goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
See with us next time.
Speaker 7 (10:54):
One of the world's greatest magician.
Speaker 1 (10:55):

Thing Small and explains more tricks that you yourself can performing.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
