(00:32):
Now I'll stand by for Blackstone the Magic Detective. Now
to Blackstone's magic studio and all the mysterious apparatus that
(00:56):
the great magician uses in the show.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
That basket he must have brought from in the India.
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Say tell me about the Maharaja's Gold, Blackstone. Even if
swammys in India couldn't figure that one out.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
That sounds exciting.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
It was you say, we were touring in India.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Guy was due to make.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
A command performance before the Maharaja of Kalgar who.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Were coming up to the gates of his palace.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
When Blackstone look at that club, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
It looks like, yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
It's a magician and he's doing is okay? What is
this competition?
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Let's look into it, Rhodee.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
Oh, they're a magician.
Speaker 2 (01:34):
He's a swammy Road. I'm not a magician at all.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh, I don't like the sound of that fluted it's
sort of scary.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
It's an old Hindu champ that's supposed to bring well.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Look at him. He's sprinkling sand on the fire. What on?
Keep watching now that guy trying to put the fire on.
He's he's pouring water on it. Looks at all that steam.
He's saying something about gold.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
Good.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
Look, but the mack's listed Blackstone. It is God, not
say the guys who are in the pirates.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
It's time to go, but it ken't it real, must
be real. The way the car is scrambling part huh,
A poor Hindus could.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
Do me a little gold, say Bankston, what do you make?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
I think must go on into the palace and see
wherever we can find out.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Mister Blackstone.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Yes, and my name is Kruger, Secretary of Highness the
Maharrod God, how do you do?
Speaker 4 (02:35):
I'm very glad to see you here, mister Blackstone.
Speaker 6 (02:38):
You were supposed to give up a performance, but you're
a magician and.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
I want you wanted to be to find out how
the sun is changed to molten gold? Is that it?
If you could, the Maharaja would be so grateful, and
I would take her to him.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
We are very trouble, mister Blackstone, very trouble. The Swami
who changes sand into gold shouldn't borrow the great Maharaja
at Calco.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
You do not understand, mister Blackstone.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
It is the customing carguard that a maharaja must compete.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
With the holy men.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
You mean you have to make gold too?
Speaker 2 (03:17):
No, no, no, that is not it.
Speaker 6 (03:19):
The holy Man, the Swamy of Benares, is giving his
wealth to the poor, and.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
Not a bad idea. The poor, sir, look as if
they could use a couple of hand their quiet.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
Because he gives away his wealth, we must do the same.
We must duplicate every gift he makes.
Speaker 4 (03:35):
That must got you a pretty panny.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yes, if the.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
Holy Man continues to work his miracles, soon there will
be no more gold than the treasury.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Well, then what happens. It's actually being broke, I mean abdication.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
So I thought if Blackstorm, the great Magician, could help
me by turning sand into gold, can you?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I wish I could.
Speaker 6 (03:55):
But perhaps I can discover the Swami's secret. By tomorrow
I may have some news.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
For Golly Blackstone. Look at those poor Hindus.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
You think that with the Maharaja and the Swami of
Banari's both giving money away like mad that there'd be
no poverty at all in Calgary.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Ruder, I got it.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Hu.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
We turn, we see the Swami of Banaris do his act.
We can see it from this window. Camp we Yeah,
we can see perfectly.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Look, here comes the crowd. Now listen to them, Blackstone.
Speaker 4 (04:29):
That crowding with.
Speaker 6 (04:30):
Courtyard to watch the Swami of Banaris performing a lot
of miracle. What's on that car that does, as in
a drawing, loves Rhoda so that the Swami can build
his fire There he's starting.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
It, and as krug are ready to keep an eye
on him.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
Come on, I think we better go down and much
more closely. An excellent idea of Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
Oh there go another log on the fire, and can
that Swammy pitch him? There goes another I guess it's
the last you'll be going into his long steel.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
No, d he's reaching for another log, that's right, and there's.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Kruger is taking as close as ever.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Yeah, she seems to be watching everything.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
He's helping the Swami lift the log. See that two
of them are taking it toward the fire.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
Maybe they need some more help.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
It's just an ordinary log and you're two of them
handling it already.
Speaker 5 (05:24):
Three Roader, watch me take a hand, black Stone, it
just came along to help.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Couler.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Let me give you a hand with that log.
Speaker 6 (05:39):
Look out, look out, you're going the log on the
paved I it all.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
Those golf coins rolling out from that broken knot.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
Don't worry, Rhoda, it's only Kruger's got a knife.
Speaker 4 (05:50):
Watch out, black Stone, I'll get you for this, black Storm.
Speaker 3 (05:53):
I let them the crowds grab Kruger, and they're grabbing
a swany instead of the.
Speaker 6 (05:58):
Cone because it's gold, the money roller money instead of
the molten gold that the Swami produces.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
But where would the gold coins come from?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Look at the roder, what are they have?
Speaker 4 (06:08):
The moorages head Stanton.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Yes, and they came from his treasury Roder.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Kruger must have bloated them in that hollow log last night.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Ah.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
So that's how the Swami worked his miracle exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:20):
And there is another mystery solved by magic.
Speaker 6 (06:35):
The gold method from the heat of the fire and
appeared in the ashes after the log had burned.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Yeah, and Kruger was giving the Swami ten times as
much gold as they put in the hollow log.
Speaker 6 (06:43):
The Swami of Benares was making kindy of profit from
his take miracle the blackstone.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
How did you know that the last log was filled
with gold? That was easy? You remember the swami tossed
the first logs on the fire by himself. Yes, But
when he came to the last one, it was so
heavy that Kruger had to help him.
Speaker 6 (06:58):
Of course, a log with gold would be more than
twice as heavy as an ordinary lug. I suspected Kruger
because he helped the swarm.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
He looked. The big clog sounds like real Hindu magic
black storm.
Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's like the great Hindu coin trick.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Oh what's that one? Oh a trick they do in India.
But you can do it here just as well. If
you know how well, how well?
Speaker 6 (07:18):
We must have a lot of coins, pennies, nikols are
bowe any small chain.
Speaker 4 (07:21):
I've got some dime me I'm broke. I've just got
penny for them.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
All right, hold out your hand done, I'm going to
count these coins into it.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
One, two, three, four, spive, six, seven, eight, nine, ten,
You got them?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Yes, ten coins? And all right, here on, I hold
on them Now I'll give road to ten coins too. Here, Rode,
you count them one.
Speaker 4 (07:42):
Two, stay, four, six, seven, eight, n ten do it?
Speaker 6 (07:46):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Hold them tight.
Speaker 6 (07:47):
Now I shall cause one coin to leave your hand.
Done and show up among the coins that Rhoda is
for you.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I'd like to see you do it. You will, all
right done? Now you count the coins from ten to one? Okay, nine, eight, seven,
six five? Up? How many more have you still to count?
Only four and five and four? Make how many? Only nine?
That's what I told you would happen. Give me your coins, Roder.
(08:15):
You think you still have just ten coins? All right?
Speaker 6 (08:18):
Now we'll come from ten, nine, eight, seven six that here, Rota,
take the rest and see how many there are.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
There's five.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
I counted to six, and you have five more. That
makes eleven, doesn't it?
Speaker 4 (08:31):
That's right?
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Now?
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Here are your coins, Rohata, and yours done? You got them?
Speaker 6 (08:36):
Good? Now i'll send the odd coin back there. Now
I'll count your coins from one to ten, and you'll
see that I'm right.
Speaker 4 (08:44):
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight nine seven?
Speaker 2 (08:51):
Say how did that happen? How did that odd coin
pass back and forth? Well?
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Suppose you two try to figure it out and then
I'll be back in a minute to tell you how
it's done.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
And now a blackstone? How did that odd coin pass?
Back and forth? I talked you right into it, and
that's why the twick is so simple?
Speaker 1 (09:14):
Yes, but how could I have had ten coins and
only count nine because I started you counting backwood?
Speaker 6 (09:20):
Give me those coins again, then watch and listen. All right,
ten nine eight seven six five? How many have I counted?
Speaker 2 (09:28):
Five?
Speaker 6 (09:28):
No?
Speaker 2 (09:29):
Wait, now I'm waiting. You were just said five, but
you've actually counted out six coins. That's it.
Speaker 6 (09:34):
Counting backward was a fool you, So I stopped with
the number five. Now, how many coins do you still have?
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Four? Right? So when I said five and four make nine,
you would ordinarily believe me, wouldn't Well, I did believe you.
Speaker 4 (09:46):
Say that's clever, But how did you make my ten
coins seem to be eleven?
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Well, give me the ten coins and I'll show you
ten nine, eight seven six that's what I stopped with.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
You wrote down on the number six, that's right.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
But look closely and you would see that though I
stopped at six, I have only counted off five coins.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
So that still leaves me from right.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
So I said six and five make eleven, and you
believe me.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
I certainly did the first time.
Speaker 6 (10:12):
Well that's the way Hindus do it, so they count
in Hindustani, but it works in English just as well.
Speaker 5 (10:18):
I hope you enjoyed that trick, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 6 (10:21):
And now until next time, this is Blackstone saying good
magic and goodbye.
Speaker 2 (10:43):
They were us.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
Next time, when the world's greatest magician Blackstone tells us
the story of the educated dummy and explains more tricks
that you yourself can perform. Listening again to Blackstone, the
world's greatest living magician, s
