The Magic Detective, starring the world's greatest living magician, Blackstone.
He tells you the inside story of the Coins of Confucius.
Right after the story, Blackstorm will explain tricks that you
yourself can't perform, reveal the secrets of the world's greatest
living magician. And now I'll stand by for Blackstone the
(01:08):
Magic Detective.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
My but that's a wealthy sound.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
Blackstone, don't tell me you're going to do a trick
without borrowing money from me.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I could with these magic coins, And boy are they magic?
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Down those coins once told him who stole the pearl
pendant of the Dowager Empress of China?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
The coins told him? How well? I said they were magic?
Speaker 3 (01:33):
Call, Well, I don't see how coins could lead you
to a thief, not unless he left a trail of
'em behind him.
Speaker 4 (01:38):
And well, that doesn't sound too likely.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
Better tell him how it happened back then.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
Well, one day, not so long ago, I received a
call from my old friend, doctor Moulan.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
The curator of the museum.
Speaker 7 (01:49):
The priceless pro pendant was me, it's gone, Blackstone. There
isn't a sign of it.
Speaker 4 (01:55):
Well, could someone have walked right out of the museum
with it.
Speaker 8 (01:58):
I thought that at first, but it's impossible. I saw
the pendant in the case myself. Ten minutes later, I
went back and it had vanished.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
In ten minutes. Anyone could have stolen it and left
the museum.
Speaker 7 (02:09):
No, No, they couldn't.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
It was just before closing time in the museum was
practically empty. The doorman testified that no one left the
building during that time.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
There was no other exit none. That it must have
been an inside job. That's the only explanation.
Speaker 7 (02:25):
That's what I'm afraid of.
Speaker 8 (02:27):
Could you come over and see what you could find out?
Speaker 4 (02:29):
Yah, the right away goodbye moment gets your happy co wrota,
We're going to the museum?
Speaker 9 (02:35):
Who?
Speaker 6 (02:35):
Well, that has something gone wrong? Over there? Is this
a site thing?
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Ches? Something's gone wrong, plenty wrong? Come on, will not
tell me, Molland have all your.
Speaker 7 (02:52):
Employees been with you a long time years?
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Has anything ever been missing before?
Speaker 7 (02:57):
Nothing? Not once in the twenty years that I've been here.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
Uh, there's no one you suspect.
Speaker 7 (03:03):
Well, there is a man named Gliddon.
Speaker 10 (03:06):
Yes, I haven't anything against him, you understand. I just
don't cotton to him, that's all.
Speaker 8 (03:12):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (03:12):
Uh, what does he do.
Speaker 7 (03:13):
He's a guard.
Speaker 6 (03:14):
Oh does he guard the room with a pendant with kep?
Speaker 7 (03:16):
No, No he doesn't. He's a relief guard.
Speaker 10 (03:19):
Takes over any room in the museum when a guard
is sick or during a lunch hour.
Speaker 6 (03:24):
What have a roving ambassador?
Speaker 5 (03:25):
Is that it?
Speaker 7 (03:26):
Well, I suppose you might call it back if you
would have access to all the rooms.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Then that's right.
Speaker 7 (03:31):
But I don't want you to think that I have
any reason for suspecting Giddon. I haven't. It's purely a
personal thing.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
He and I don't click had any runings with him,
A few non important though. Who else could have brought
me into the room beside Giddon.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
Without being noticed?
Speaker 7 (03:50):
That is Smedley.
Speaker 10 (03:52):
He's the regular guard there, and Claimer the head guard,
and Louis the janitor.
Speaker 7 (03:58):
That's all.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
None of those four men of r the building since
the fifth.
Speaker 7 (04:01):
Have a no.
Speaker 10 (04:02):
You see, they realized that one of the four stole
the pendant, and they're all anxious to have the thief
caught so they will be cleared.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
You mean three of them are anxious, don't you, doctor Morland.
Speaker 7 (04:13):
I beg your Oh, yes, yes, of course.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
Well then, since none of the men have left a building.
The jewel must still be here, that's right. You search
the museum, of course, But in their.
Speaker 7 (04:25):
Place as big as this, it would take us weeks
and weeks.
Speaker 10 (04:28):
To cover the ground, Villery, and even then there might
be milks and crannies we might hear. As you're quite right, Quater,
I suppose I will have to call in the police.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
I hate to do that. It wouldn't do my record
any good if this got out.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Oh, there's one thing we can try more than that
the police can't. What do you mean we can try
to solve the crime by magic?
Speaker 10 (04:49):
Oh god, now, Blackstone, I called you in for your
advice not to give a performance.
Speaker 6 (04:55):
Let them, mister try what he has in mind, doctor Morland.
It might work, you know.
Speaker 7 (04:59):
Well, if you can't hurt to try what he's your scheme. Runner.
Speaker 10 (05:03):
Let me see those coins over there. They're Chinese, aren't they. Yes, Yeah,
they're they're old coins. Yeah, gould to be old enough
to have belong to Confucius. Well, there is a slight
possibility that they they might have a very slight possibility.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
They did belong to Confucius at least. Uh that's our story.
Speaker 6 (05:24):
Oh, but don't to stab the boss when he's making
with the magic doctor Morland. He knows what he's doing.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
I hope so gold of him.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
When in William morand A wrote hand me the coin.
Speaker 7 (05:33):
Oh here there I was a get And then.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Who what's your plan?
Speaker 4 (05:41):
Likes to when you see soon enough wrote what work?
I hope so for my friend more than say, okay,
here are.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
The men like story?
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Well believing?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Won't you all sit down? Please let's see idea. You
are dick in a way I prefer to call myself
a magician. Well you gonna do? Ask us more questions? No,
these little coins i'll have here in my hand will
tell me all the answers I want to know? Will
drive and a mister, these coins once belong to that
(06:11):
great sage Confucius, and they're supposed to be endowed with
magic piles. And I don't get it me neither. What
if a coins do? I will ask the coins a question.
Then I will hand each of you men a little.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Pile of them. You will hold the power in your hands.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
And when you give the pile back to me the coins,
will you tell me the whole story of the pole
of pinin Oh nuts, I've been told that before. Nevertheless,
it hasn't failed yet, and I see no reason why
it should. Now coins, coins of Confucius, Who's told the pendant?
(06:47):
Who's told the pendant?
Speaker 7 (06:50):
Now?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
I mean I will have my assistant hand each of
you a pile of coins. They will do a different
number of coins in each pile. The place with the
greatest number of coins will be the one who stole
the pendant.
Speaker 7 (07:05):
Simple, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
If it works, it will alright, Rother, and the coins
around the usual way.
Speaker 4 (07:11):
That's right, the usual way.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
Okay, And here are yours and yours and yours. A
little stack for you, bliddy heah does a boss. They've
all got coins.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Now hold the.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
Coins between your hands or look at them, whichever you wish.
The only thing you must do is separate. Go over
to the window or the door or somewhere. Make sure
no one else can see harmony coins you have.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Now. The magic is working. I can feel it. I
can feel the magic working. Alright, Roda, collect the coins,
bring each power to me as you receive it from them.
Speaker 6 (07:56):
In right, hum, here's one power from Smedley, is that right?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
That's right now?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I would count your coin smently one two three four five.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
You had five coins? Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Here Louis Blackston one two three s four five and
Cramers one two three.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Four five, And now may I have yours? Bidden? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
One two three four four. That's funny, you only had
four coins bidden. H that's right.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Looks like your trick didn't work this time, mister. Most
the three men over they were working together. That's possible,
the all the way of thinking. Perhaps, sure there is God,
Dridden Mollan, he's your thief.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Well I don't get it. Oh but simple, that's what
you always say. Come on, tell me, well they were
exactly the same number of coins in each part. You
didn't didn't know that, of course, so not taking any chances.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He palmed one of his coins.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's all there was too.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, it is.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Simple, now you explain it. How about explaining another trick
to us? Blackstone, have you got one yes on a
coin trick? I have some coins in each hand.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Do you hit 'em?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Who couldn't?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The way you're jingling is oh, yes, for that road,
I wort a trick on you, and rarely pool you.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Go right ahead and try all right?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
In one hand, I have coins the total and even
amount and in the other the coins in the other
hand total and odd 'em out.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
And which I might have picked the ard of the.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Even either road only you won't pick it.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
You mean, if I say odd, I can't pick the
hand with odd number of coins odd or even?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Left hand or right? You're sure to miss whichever you choose.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Ah, I'll have to see that I take odd.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
But you're willing to get the even.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I'll pick odd, and and I'll pick the right hand.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Sure you don't want the left.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Suppose I do take the left?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Here it is ticket.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
You can't fool me that. I'll still take the run.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Is that final?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I'll say the odd coins are in the right hand.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Sorry, rode down, and you'll get to even. Look, just
count this money for yourself.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Ten fifteen twenty twenty cents. Yeah that's even, you will
writ he will?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Way, what does it?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Rode out?
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Maybe the coins in the other hand are even too, I.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Wanna ride them up.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Yeah, there they are ten twenty thirty thirty five. Well
that's an odd number.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
So you see, roder, you had a free choice of
otter or even, yet you couldn't take the one you wanted.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Now, maybe you were just lucky or I were just unlucky.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
No, that isn't it.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
This is one trick that will always work if you
can't figure it out, I'll try it undown and prove it.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, let me think for a minute.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
All right, roade out, go ahead, alright, Roder, how are
you doing with the odd and even coin trick?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm not doing it at all till I try it.
I'm done.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I think that will help.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
It certainly will, particularly if the trick works in reverse.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Uh, you mean works in reverse?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Just watch and maybe received.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You have an even amount of coins in one hand
and an odd amount in the other.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's right now done, Which do you want art or even?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Uh, I'll take even, but you're going to get odd
no matter which hand you pay.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I'll give me the left hand two badm you get
the odd. Here count the coins in my left hand.
There's only three of them, dime and two nickels. Yes,
there's only three coin and uh.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Here in my other hands are four coins, an even number,
three dimes and a nickel. Four coins are your eye, blackstone.
Those coins are even?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Yay?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (11:35):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Rota?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Rota has just caught on, But I haven't. I how
did you do a Blackstone? Well, I'll explain it. In
one hand, I have a diamond, two nickels. Those three
coins are an odd number three, but.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They add up to an even amount of money praise hence.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And in my other hand, I have three dimes and
the nickel and even number of coins four coins.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
But those four coins add up to an odd amount thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We say, No matter which I wanted, odd or even.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
We're sure to get the other done, just like I did.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's why the trick is sure to work our door
even it doesn't matter. I can make either bunch of
coins come out either way. I hope you like that trick,
Ladies and gentlemen. And until next time, missus Blackstone saying
good magic and goodbye.
Speaker 2 (12:37):

In right, hum, here's one power from Smedley, is that right?
Speaker 7 (08:00):
That's right now?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I would count your coin smently one two three four five.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
You had five coins? Uh?
Speaker 5 (08:10):
Here Louis Blackston one two three s four five and
Cramers one two three.
Speaker 6 (08:19):
Four five, And now may I have yours? Bidden? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (08:24):
One two three four four. That's funny, you only had
four coins bidden. H that's right.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Looks like your trick didn't work this time, mister. Most
the three men over they were working together. That's possible,
the all the way of thinking. Perhaps, sure there is God,
Dridden Mollan, he's your thief.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Well I don't get it. Oh but simple, that's what
you always say. Come on, tell me, well they were
exactly the same number of coins in each part. You
didn't didn't know that, of course, so not taking any chances.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
He palmed one of his coins.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
That's all there was too.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Well, it is.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
Simple, now you explain it. How about explaining another trick
to us? Blackstone, have you got one yes on a
coin trick? I have some coins in each hand.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Do you hit 'em?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Who couldn't?
Speaker 2 (09:21):
The way you're jingling is oh, yes, for that road,
I wort a trick on you, and rarely pool you.
Speaker 6 (09:26):
Go right ahead and try all right?
Speaker 4 (09:29):
In one hand, I have coins the total and even
amount and in the other the coins in the other
hand total and odd 'em out.
Speaker 6 (09:35):
And which I might have picked the ard of the.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
Even either road only you won't pick it.
Speaker 5 (09:39):
You mean, if I say odd, I can't pick the
hand with odd number of coins odd or even?
Speaker 4 (09:44):
Left hand or right? You're sure to miss whichever you choose.
Speaker 6 (09:48):
Ah, I'll have to see that I take odd.
Speaker 4 (09:51):
But you're willing to get the even.
Speaker 6 (09:52):
I'll pick odd, and and I'll pick the right hand.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Sure you don't want the left.
Speaker 6 (09:56):
Suppose I do take the left?
Speaker 2 (09:57):
Here it is ticket.
Speaker 6 (09:58):
You can't fool me that. I'll still take the run.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Is that final?
Speaker 6 (10:02):
I'll say the odd coins are in the right hand.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Sorry, rode down, and you'll get to even. Look, just
count this money for yourself.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Ten fifteen twenty twenty cents. Yeah that's even, you will
writ he will?
Speaker 7 (10:13):
Way, what does it?
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Rode out?
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Maybe the coins in the other hand are even too, I.
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Wanna ride them up.
Speaker 6 (10:17):
Yeah, there they are ten twenty thirty thirty five. Well
that's an odd number.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
So you see, roder, you had a free choice of
otter or even, yet you couldn't take the one you wanted.
Speaker 6 (10:27):
Now, maybe you were just lucky or I were just unlucky.
Speaker 7 (10:30):
No, that isn't it.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
This is one trick that will always work if you
can't figure it out, I'll try it undown and prove it.
Speaker 6 (10:37):
Yeah, let me think for a minute.
Speaker 4 (10:39):
All right, roade out, go ahead, alright, Roder, how are
you doing with the odd and even coin trick?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
I'm not doing it at all till I try it.
I'm done.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
I think that will help.
Speaker 4 (10:56):
It certainly will, particularly if the trick works in reverse.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Uh, you mean works in reverse?
Speaker 4 (11:01):
Just watch and maybe received.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You have an even amount of coins in one hand
and an odd amount in the other.
Speaker 2 (11:08):
That's right now done, Which do you want art or even?
Speaker 4 (11:11):
Well?
Speaker 6 (11:12):
Uh, I'll take even, but you're going to get odd
no matter which hand you pay.
Speaker 10 (11:16):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I'll give me the left hand two badm you get
the odd. Here count the coins in my left hand.
There's only three of them, dime and two nickels. Yes,
there's only three coin and uh.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
Here in my other hands are four coins, an even number,
three dimes and a nickel. Four coins are your eye, blackstone.
Those coins are even?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
Yay?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (11:35):
What's that?
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Rota?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Rota has just caught on, But I haven't. I how
did you do a Blackstone? Well, I'll explain it. In
one hand, I have a diamond, two nickels. Those three
coins are an odd number three, but.
Speaker 6 (11:48):
They add up to an even amount of money praise hence.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And in my other hand, I have three dimes and
the nickel and even number of coins four coins.
Speaker 6 (11:57):
But those four coins add up to an odd amount thirty.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
We say, No matter which I wanted, odd or even.
Speaker 6 (12:03):
We're sure to get the other done, just like I did.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
That's why the trick is sure to work our door
even it doesn't matter. I can make either bunch of
coins come out either way. I hope you like that trick,
Ladies and gentlemen. And until next time, missus Blackstone saying
good magic and goodbye.
