Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:17):
The Magic Detective, starring the world's greatest living magician, Blackstone.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
He tells you the inside.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Story of the Ladder of Wealth.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Right after the story, Blackstone will explain tricks that you
yourself can perform, reveal the guarded secrets of the world's
greatest living magician. And now'll stand by for Blackstone the
(01:00):
Magic Detective. Skulls, skeletons, false hands, color changing roses.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Gosh, Blackstone, You've got interesting things hereh.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Collecting magic equipment is a hobby of mine. Don. I've
never used a great many of these things in my acts,
but I like to.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
Collect them and have me catalog them. That's quite a job,
I might add. Look at that thing over there, Don,
and tell me what it is.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Let me see, there's sort of sloping shells made of
glass rains, sort of like a ladder.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
I have the vaguest idea of what it's for.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
It's a magic coin ladder?
Speaker 6 (01:36):
Or what's that?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Watch and I'll show you. I lent you about fifty
coins here at the top in this Cristmas chair.
Speaker 7 (01:44):
Rhode, hand me that glass bowl. We put it right
here at the bottom. Now watch carefully, Don.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Margie Kiarum.
Speaker 8 (01:56):
What's the coin's done there? They're trying to slip down
the ladder.
Speaker 7 (02:04):
Yeah, look at them sliding down those shelves that they
seem to bounce from one of the other.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Hey, look, those coins are multiplying.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
There's more than fifty of them.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Every time they hit another shelf, the increase.
Speaker 6 (02:14):
Why they're endless?
Speaker 8 (02:15):
So old Claverick Thord?
Speaker 6 (02:17):
Who's Claverick?
Speaker 7 (02:18):
Explain to me Blackstone, And it all has to do
without the Klaverrick don Why those coins are pouring down
the ladder.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
I'll tell you about it.
Speaker 9 (02:34):
This is a funny section of the country. We're almost
completely isolated here in this little valley, Blackstone. Most of
us have lived here for years, and now Father's before us.
We know all about each other's business. That's why I
asked you to come here, mister Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Well, I'm afraid I don't understand me.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
Up in the hills behind the village, they used to
live a funny old miser had a great deal of
money in this.
Speaker 3 (02:58):
Time, but then he went daffy.
Speaker 9 (03:01):
I wouldn't say that. He just didn't trust people, that's all.
He lived in a funny old shack with all his money.
A few had to be several thousand dollars in gold,
and we all let him alone.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Oh what happened?
Speaker 9 (03:13):
Well, a year or so ago a man named Arthur
Klaverick moved here. He heard an old story, a legend
that there was a buried treasure in these parts, gold
hidden by some wealthy Tory families during the revolution, and he.
Speaker 8 (03:25):
Just thought he'd come and dig it up.
Speaker 9 (03:27):
Huh y, So it seems well. He hunted and hunted
for months, and as far as we know, found nothing.
Then the hermit I was telling you about Old Adam
Winslow was found ground in a mountain stream.
Speaker 8 (03:38):
Oh what about his money?
Speaker 9 (03:41):
It was never found. He searched his shack and there
wasn't a penny anywhere.
Speaker 8 (03:45):
What has Claverick got to do with this?
Speaker 9 (03:47):
Well, shortly after Adam died, he stopped searching. Now he's
living in Adam's old shack and has turned into a
recluse too.
Speaker 6 (03:57):
Did he find his buried money? He won't say.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, what's your opinion of all this?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
I think he murdered Adam Winslow and stole his gold.
Speaker 3 (04:07):
That's quite an accusation, latent.
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yes, I know it.
Speaker 9 (04:10):
I want you to find some clue that I can
use to prove my suspicions.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Do you know this fellow Claverick well enough to ask
him to go home?
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Well? Yes, I guess so good. Here's what I want
you to do.
Speaker 9 (04:31):
I've asked you all here to meet a very dear
friend of mine. He is very kindly consented to perform
some feats of magic for us, mister Blackstone, the magician.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Thank you, Thank you, lady and general.
Speaker 7 (04:47):
When I was traveling in the Far East, I heard
romas of a magic ladder that would increase the number
of coins that were poured down it. I searched and searched,
until finally I managed to procure one of those letters. Tonight,
for the first time, I'm going to test its magic powers. Rhoda,
hand me those coins, thank you. Now, will someone in
(05:09):
the audience count them for me?
Speaker 1 (05:11):
I will, Oh my, yes, I will.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Yes, that's clevering Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well here you are, mister Claverick.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Thank you, thank you. Let me see ten cent pieces.
I see, yes, indeed, dines lots of them.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Two rota. Will you bring out the ladder?
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Here?
Speaker 8 (05:30):
It is, master, Thank.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You, you see this ladder.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
Ladies and gentlemen, shelves of glass. I will place the
coins in his crystal chest here at the top. They
will slide down the shelves, and if the stories of
the sages of the Yeast prove correct.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
They will multiply in number. Have you counted the coins,
mister Claverick.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Yes, indeed, yes, indeed, I am fifty of them, fifty shiny,
bright ten cent pieces. Here you are, mister Packstone, thank you.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
I have here fifty.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
As mister Claverick has said, I placed them in this
crystal chest, and I say the magic word maggycky room,
and the coins start coming down the ladder.
Speaker 5 (06:17):
What closely, everybody tear more of them.
Speaker 3 (06:21):
Every time a coin hits the shelter, there there gets
to be two of them.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
Look look at a hundreds of coins stripping down that ladder,
hundreds of them. The stage is right, it's a magic ladder,
a ladder. Well, we can all be rich, rich reach.
Speaker 8 (06:46):
I don't see why you want us to hide here.
The moonlight makes it spoky.
Speaker 9 (06:51):
Yes, black Stone, it's three o'clock in the morning and
all the guests have gone. They've been here for an
hour and nothing's happened.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Listen, do you hear something. Footsteps and they're walking over
to the coin ladder. I left in the other room.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
Who is the Blackstone?
Speaker 1 (07:06):
You wait and.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
See somebody's putting coins in the crystal chest.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
A he ah room. They're multiplying. My gold coins are multiplying.
I'll be rich, Claverick. What are you doing here, Blackstone?
Don't stop the coins. Don't stop them. Look at them,
hundreds of the.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
Man turn on the lights, waking Rod. I grabbed the coins.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
No, I've got the coins, Blackstone. They're the coins from
the Tory traitor. I found them. I was just doubling
them by magic the mind.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Give them to me, Give them to them, Rota.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
Oh, thank you, thank you. My coins, oh, my precious coin.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Count them, claverc.
Speaker 6 (07:51):
Be sure they're all there?
Speaker 1 (07:52):
He will live. Double count them.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
What here's another coin on the poor Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Good, let me have it. Well, Claverck, all.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
There, one's missing, one's missing.
Speaker 6 (08:07):
I have it here.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
The coins were supposed to multiply, and they didn't.
Speaker 8 (08:12):
Maybe you can't work magic.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
Multiply my coins, please, Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
It's just an illusion, Claverck. The coins don't multiply.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
It'd been fooled. It was a trick.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
You made me bring my coins out into the open,
my Tory treasure that I never saw.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Anyone, horrid treasure.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
Did you say, yes, the Tory treasure I found?
Speaker 6 (08:32):
Then?
Speaker 7 (08:32):
How do you account for the fact that the coin
I found on the floor was dated eighteen sixty, this
one here is dated eighteen seventy three, and this one
nineteen eleven.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Tory treasure, mister Claverick.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
It's a mistake, a mistake.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Murder is always a mistake, mister Claverick.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
Well, did Claverick really murder Old Adam Winslow?
Speaker 7 (09:01):
Yes, he confessed dom the coins gold ones belong to Winslow,
you see.
Speaker 4 (09:06):
But how did you know they did? Well, that was simple.
Speaker 7 (09:09):
The dates on them told me they were in Tory treasure,
as he claimed. And also Winslow is reputed to have gold.
Everyone else has turned in the gold when the government
requested it.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Well, another mystery was solved by magic. But there's still
one thing I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
What's that done?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Well, when you did the magic ladder trick for me,
I saw that money double with my own eyes.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
It's an illusion, dumb. Take a good look at the
glass shelves of the ladder.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Every alternate sheet of glass is a mirror.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
That's right, and as the coins are reflected in the mirror,
they give the effect of doubling. When I do the
trick myself, I have dextra coins hidden behind the bottom
mirror that drop into the bowl. I can have members
of the audience count them and see that they actually.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Have increased Oh what are those coins? I hear?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Now it sounds like just three coins to me?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Does this meet a trick?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And here are.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
The coin, a nickel, the quarter and a penny. What's
gonna happen with all that cash?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, we lay the three coins in a row, the nickel,
the quarter, the penny.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Very simple so far.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You will also notice that the edges of the coins
are touching.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
The nickel touches the quarter and the quarter touches the penny.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yes, now, the idea is to put the nickel between
the quarter.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
And the penny. Roda can move the penny, but she
can't touch it. She can touch the quarter, but she
can't move it. She can move the nickel anyway. She
wants try it, Rota and see if she moves the
nickel and pushes the penny with us, she'd be touching
the penny with the nickel down.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
That's not allowed.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Oh, I'll figure a way to spite you. Black Story.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Right, go right ahead, Rhoda, and I wish you luck,
but if.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
You don't have it, you'll be back to explain why, absolutely, Rhoda,
I'll be back.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Oh golly, I've given up Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Why that tricks? Very simple, Rhoda. A nickel, a quarter,
and a penny, all in a row.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
And I'm to put the nickel between the quarter and
the penny.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
But you can't move the quarter and you can't touch
the penny.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
I want to know how to do this.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Well, here goes a nickel, a quarter, a penny, and
a straight row edge to edge. I put my right
poor finger on the quarter.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Good enough, you're touching the quarter, but you mustn't move it,
you know.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
With my left fingers, I slide the nickel to the left,
then shove it hard to the right so it strikes
the quarter like this.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
It happened. It really happened.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Well what happened?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Blackstone moved the penny without touching it. He was pressing
the quarter hard and when the nickel hit.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It, look see done.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
The force of the nickel striking the quarter knocked the
penny several inches to the right. Say so did.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're supposed to move the the nickel between the quarter
and the penny.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
That's easy.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Now down, we just slide the nickel right between the
other coin.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
And the trick is done.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I hope you like that trick, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
And until next time, This is Blackstone saying good magic
and goodbye.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Be with us next time, when the world's greatest living magician,
Blackstone tells us the story of the Locked Book and
explains more tricks that you yourself can perform. Listening again
to black Storm, the world's greatest living magician,
Hmm.

He will live. Double count them.
Speaker 8 (07:55):
What here's another coin on the poor Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Good, let me have it. Well, Claverck, all.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
There, one's missing, one's missing.
Speaker 6 (08:07):

Well, when you did the magic ladder trick for me,
I saw that money double with my own eyes.
Speaker 7 (09:29):
It's an illusion, dumb. Take a good look at the
glass shelves of the ladder.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Every alternate sheet of glass is a mirror.
Speaker 7 (09:37):
That's right, and as the coins are reflected in the mirror,
they give the effect of doubling. When I do the
trick myself, I have dextra coins hidden behind the bottom
mirror that drop into the bowl. I can have members
of the audience count them and see that they actually.
Speaker 8 (09:51):
Have increased Oh what are those coins? I hear?
Speaker 4 (09:55):
Now it sounds like just three coins to me?
Speaker 6 (09:58):
Does this meet a trick?
Speaker 3 (10:00):
And here are.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
The coin, a nickel, the quarter and a penny. What's
gonna happen with all that cash?
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Well, we lay the three coins in a row, the nickel,
the quarter, the penny.
Speaker 8 (10:11):
Very simple so far.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
You will also notice that the edges of the coins
are touching.
Speaker 6 (10:15):
That's right.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
The nickel touches the quarter and the quarter touches the penny.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
Yes, now, the idea is to put the nickel between
the quarter.
Speaker 7 (10:22):
And the penny. Roda can move the penny, but she
can't touch it. She can touch the quarter, but she
can't move it. She can move the nickel anyway. She
wants try it, Rota and see if she moves the
nickel and pushes the penny with us, she'd be touching
the penny with the nickel down.
Speaker 6 (10:39):
That's not allowed.
Speaker 8 (10:41):
Oh, I'll figure a way to spite you. Black Story.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Right, go right ahead, Rhoda, and I wish you luck,
but if.
Speaker 7 (10:47):
You don't have it, you'll be back to explain why, absolutely, Rhoda,
I'll be back.
Speaker 8 (11:07):
Oh golly, I've given up Blackstone.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Why that tricks? Very simple, Rhoda. A nickel, a quarter,
and a penny, all in a row.
Speaker 8 (11:16):
And I'm to put the nickel between the quarter and
the penny.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
But you can't move the quarter and you can't touch
the penny.
Speaker 8 (11:23):
I want to know how to do this.
Speaker 7 (11:25):
Well, here goes a nickel, a quarter, a penny, and
a straight row edge to edge. I put my right
poor finger on the quarter.
Speaker 5 (11:35):
Good enough, you're touching the quarter, but you mustn't move it,
you know.
Speaker 7 (11:39):
With my left fingers, I slide the nickel to the left,
then shove it hard to the right so it strikes
the quarter like this.
Speaker 8 (11:52):
It happened. It really happened.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Well what happened?
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Blackstone moved the penny without touching it. He was pressing
the quarter hard and when the nickel hit.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
It, look see done.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
The force of the nickel striking the quarter knocked the
penny several inches to the right. Say so did.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
You're supposed to move the the nickel between the quarter
and the penny.
Speaker 3 (12:17):
That's easy.
Speaker 7 (12:17):
Now down, we just slide the nickel right between the
other coin.
Speaker 8 (12:23):
And the trick is done.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
I hope you like that trick, ladies and gentlemen.
Speaker 7 (12:28):
And until next time, This is Blackstone saying good magic
and goodbye.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Be with us next time, when the world's greatest living magician,
Blackstone tells us the story of the Locked Book and
explains more tricks that you yourself can perform. Listening again
to black Storm, the world's greatest living magician,
