of the world's greatest living magicians.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
The Magic Detective.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Are you moving, Blackstone?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
No, whatever gave you that idea. It would take us
months to move all this equipment of Blackstone. I hear
by give notice back today you move?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
I quit.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Then it's obvious I can't ever move.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
But uh, what's that crate over there? For it looks
like a big packing box, the one with a coil
of rope attached to it. Yes, that's the one.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Oh, that's the packing box that is haunted by the
ghost of the great magician Bardini. Haunted.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yep, really haunted.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Oh come now, want me to prove it to you?
You'll have to well climb into the box to me.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yes, you do. I really have to get inside this thing.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
That's right, Well, okay, if I must.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now, I'll close the lid and clamp it shut. There
what happens now.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
I'll just listen for a moment, and you'll hear the
great Bardini speak, I am the spirit of the great Bardini.
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Hey, let me out of here, let me out.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
Had enough that I have?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
That box is hearted. I heard a voice. Look, I
mean fun. It's fun with that boy.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
You're acting exactly the way Ronaldo did.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The Devil's Ronaldo.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
And what has he got to do with all this?
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Ronaldo was Bardini's assistant and the first person to hear
the ghost speak.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Telldown about a black towne.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
Well, it all started down when Missus Vardini, the widow
of my old friend, came to see me.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
He was murdered, I tell you, Blackstone, murdered by his assistant.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Missus Vardini, Your husband drowned to death in full view
of a large audience. No one could have murdered him with.
Speaker 8 (02:33):
That escape act of his out of the glass tank
was his specialty. You know that as well as I do.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
He couldn't have failed.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
But he was getting old lots of sarand is quick
in our later years.
Speaker 8 (02:42):
You hadn't seen my husband for several years before he died.
If you had, you'd know that he hadn't failed at all.
He was alerted, agile as he.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Ever was well as I recall the story at the
time the mechanism jammed. Wasn't that it?
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yes, but it was murdered murder, I tell you.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You seem very sure of that, Missus. But who could
kill your husband, who everyone loved him, he had no enemies, Yes,
he did well.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
And who Rinaldo?
Speaker 2 (03:07):
His assistant Ronaldo? It's impossible. Why he raised him from
a boy, He told him everything he knew, Why he
even left him the act when he died. Oh that's fantastic.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
No, it's not fantastic, mister Blackstone. Ronaldo is ambitious, terribly ambitious.
He'd never let anything stand in the way of that ambition.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
Not even murder, Not even murder.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
Mister Blackstone. I have no proof of this. I just
know that's all. Will you help me?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Yes, yes, Missus Bardini, I'll help you.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
But today Rinaldo is doing a new act.
Speaker 8 (03:43):
He's to be nailed into a packing box, lowered from
a two hundred foot bridge into deep water, and then
make his escape.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Can you arrange for me to look at the packing
box before he makes his escape? Why?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
Yes, I think so.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
And after that died, I'd like to witness the escape.
Speaker 4 (03:58):
Do you think you can find out if it really.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Was Renald, I can try missus Badini, I can try
the Blackstone. It is indeed an honor that you should
come to visit my performance, not at all, right nowdo
I'm very much interested?
Speaker 7 (04:20):
Pace, and gentlemen, I have the honor to introduce up Stone,
the magician who has come to visit this before the mine.
He will turn the committee on the platform in order
to see that there is no trickery.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
You will do that, won't you. I'll be clapped, say Blackstone,
this act of mine is terrific, absolutely terrific. The publicity
I get from this show today, I'll make you and
the other big guys looked at their laurels. I can
tell you, hell, it sounds pretty good. It is good.
Say you better get up there with the other official Blackstone.
It's time to get started, right you watch how they
name about It's terrific. I tell you.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Well. They're hammering that crate tight shirt.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Yes, this trick Rinaldo's is a good one.
Speaker 7 (05:14):
All right.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Do you think mister Blackstone has some plan of the sleet?
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:17):
I'm sure that that's why he wanted us to stay
here out of the way and watch what goes on there.
He is up there on the committee platform.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
There, there goes the box. There, it goes out over
the edge of the bridge.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
Boy, this is some trick. If that box should open,
he'd be killed. Sure is shooting.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Just a minute, you'll push a white handkerchief out of
the air hole. That will be the signal for them
to start lowering him down. You know he's handcuffed inside
that case, don't you handcuffed?
Speaker 3 (05:44):
How'll they ever get out of there? A lot he's.
Speaker 4 (05:46):
Working to free his hands now hidden in the case.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
There, I'm free. Even poor dead Bardini couldn't have done
as well. I'm not so sure of that, Ronaldo Bardini
Sardini's voice.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
Yes, Fernaldo, I am the spirit of Bardini, come back
to settle with you.
Speaker 9 (06:19):
No, no, but you must be No one could hide
in this packing case.
Speaker 6 (06:26):
Yep, your boys, you are hanging out over the river. Ronaldo,
you plan to escape with a trick I taught you.
But you will not escape. No, you will die just
as I die.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
You want Bardini, You can't feel it.
Speaker 6 (06:42):
Oh, yes I am, and I have fixed this packing
box so you cannot escape.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
I will murder you just as you murdered me. You
didn't fix the case or test it out.
Speaker 6 (06:54):
You don't dare test it and you know it. If
you open the crate now you will fold your death.
And you know I.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
Won't get them the signal to lower. I won't push
the handkerchief through the air hoole. They will lower anyway
in five minutes. That was the arrangement. And then then
you will die.
Speaker 7 (07:15):
Die, help live, help me, save me?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Why why should I save you?
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Have mercy?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You can save yourself. What can I do? In the crate?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You will find the pencil and paper I left there,
write a confession and push it out through the air hole. No,
not that it is the only thing that will save you.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Did he do it? Did you write the confession? Yes?
And he pushed it out the air hole, just as
I told him to. So it was used the voice
of Ardine's goes right's right down.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
But how could that have been possible?
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Crate was made of single boards.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
Where were you hiding? Oh? I wasn't hiding anywhere. I
was standing up on the committee's platform with How did
your voice carry all that way? It didn't. But you
talked to him. You see that rope on the top
of the case. Yes, Well it isn't a rope, it's
a hollow tube that looks like one. I just spoke
down that tube.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
Oh so that was how it was done, that's right,
And Missus Vardeni and I caught the confession as Rinaldo
pushed it out of the air hole. It fluttered down
near us and we grabbed it.
Speaker 5 (08:21):
Well, there's only one more thing than I want to know, Blackstone,
what's that done? Why did Ronaldo kill Bardini?
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Well, as Missus Bardeini said, he was terribly ambitious. He
wanted to have Bardini's act for himself, and he couldn't
do that while Bardini was alive, because they were the
only tricks he knew.
Speaker 3 (08:35):
And he knew too that Bardini was leaving all his
equipment to him in as well.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
And so another mystery was solved by Macic.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Yes, done it? Pause and now have you a trick
to show us? Well, I'm going to show you now
a most unusual one done, one that you can do
entirely by yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:50):
How Wade, Blackstone, you mean that we can fool ourselves
with absolutely?
Speaker 2 (08:55):
Uh? Or you needs a pack of cobs now the
to take this pack with you? And while my back
is turned, and deal a small heap of cards how
many any number you want, but don't go beyond fifteen.
Deal four, five, ten, many numbers that suits you.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
Hey, this is mystifying already.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Have you finished dealing the heap rot?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
Have I finished?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
You know the number of cards in it? That is,
you color them?
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
It did, all right? Now deal two more heaps, each
with that same number.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Stealing them alongside the first heap.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
That's what I want you to do.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
So now I have three heaps, each with the same
number of cards.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
We'll pick up the heap on the left and deal
three cards into the center.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
Heat three cards from.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
The left heap into the senate.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now lay down the heap on the left and pick
up the heap on the right.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Lay down left heap, pick up right.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Deal three cards from the right heap into the center.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Three from the right into the senate.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And now count the cards in the heap you're holding.
Remember how many you have, but don't tell me, m not.
Lay down the heap rot and pick up the.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Center heat right down right, heat, pickup.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And you remember the number you just counted, Yeah, I
remember it. Well, Deal that many cards from the center
into the.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Left, deal my number from center in your.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Left, and hang on to that center heap, Roter, because
I'm going to tell you just how many cards you
have hang on, Rhoda to your nine cards?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You mean I have nine cards in my head?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yes, let's count them all together.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one
more is nine.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Well, that's the most baffing trick.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You ever did.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You mean that you did, Rhoda. And if you can't
figure out why, I'll be back to explain.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I've been trying that trick again, Blackstone, but I've forgotten
some of the details.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All right, let's repeat them briefly. First three heaps, each
with the same number of cards.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Then deal three from the left heap into the center, and.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
After that, deal three from the right into the center.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Then I count what's left in a heap on the right.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yes, and you deal that many cards from the center
heap into the.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Left, and I now have nine cards in the center.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Heat, just nine cards, Rohder. No matter how many cards
you began with, you will now be holding nine cards. Yes,
whenever you try that trick exactly as I described it,
you will always have nine cards at the finish.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I'm going to try that myself.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
First.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I deal three heat and there.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Is a trick that everybody can do. I hope you
like that trick, ladies and gentlemen. And until next time,
This is Blackstone saying good magic and goodbye.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Be with us next time, when the world's greatest living magician,
Blackstone tells us the story how the Bird of Doom

months to move all this equipment of Blackstone. I hear

Speaker 4 (01:01):

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Then it's obvious I can't ever move.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
But uh, what's that crate over there? For it looks
like a big packing box, the one with a coil
of rope attached to it. Yes, that's the one.

Oh, that's the packing box that is haunted by the
ghost of the great magician Bardini. Haunted.

Yep, really haunted.
Speaker 5 (01:17):
Oh come now, want me to prove it to you?
You'll have to well climb into the box to me.
Speaker 2 (01:23):
Yes, you do. I really have to get inside this thing.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
That's right, Well, okay, if I must.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
Now, I'll close the lid and clamp it shut. There

I'll just listen for a moment, and you'll hear the
great Bardini speak, I am the spirit of the great Bardini.
Speaker 7 (01:52):
Hey, let me out of here, let me out.
Speaker 3 (01:57):

Speaker 2 (02:00):
That box is hearted. I heard a voice. Look, I

Speaker 3 (02:05):
You're acting exactly the way Ronaldo did.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
The Devil's Ronaldo.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
And what has he got to do with all this?

Ronaldo was Bardini's assistant and the first person to hear

Speaker 3 (02:13):
Telldown about a black towne.
Speaker 2 (02:15):

You hadn't seen my husband for several years before he died.
If you had, you'd know that he hadn't failed at all.
He was alerted, agile as he.

Yes, but it was murdered murder, I tell you.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
You seem very sure of that, Missus. But who could
kill your husband, who everyone loved him, he had no enemies, Yes,

And who Rinaldo?

Have mercy?

You can save yourself. What can I do? In the crate?
Speaker 6 (07:27):
You will find the pencil and paper I left there,
write a confession and push it out through the air hole. No,
not that it is the only thing that will save you.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Did he do it? Did you write the confession? Yes?

Speaker 3 (09:36):
The left heap into the senate.
Speaker 2 (09:38):
Now lay down the heap on the left and pick
up the heap on the right.
Speaker 4 (09:42):
Lay down left heap, pick up right.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Deal three cards from the right heap into the center.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Three from the right into the senate.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
And now count the cards in the heap you're holding.
Remember how many you have, but don't tell me, m not.
Lay down the heap rot and pick up the.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Center heat right down right, heat, pickup.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And you remember the number you just counted, Yeah, I
remember it. Well, Deal that many cards from the center
into the.
Speaker 3 (10:09):
Left, deal my number from center in your.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Left, and hang on to that center heap, Roter, because
I'm going to tell you just how many cards you
have hang on, Rhoda to your nine cards?
Speaker 3 (10:22):
You mean I have nine cards in my head?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Yes, let's count them all together.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and one
more is nine.
Speaker 4 (10:32):
Well, that's the most baffing trick.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
You ever did.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You mean that you did, Rhoda. And if you can't
figure out why, I'll be back to explain.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
I've been trying that trick again, Blackstone, but I've forgotten
some of the details.
Speaker 2 (10:52):
All right, let's repeat them briefly. First three heaps, each
with the same number of cards.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Then deal three from the left heap into the center, and.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
After that, deal three from the right into the center.
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Then I count what's left in a heap on the right.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yes, and you deal that many cards from the center
heap into the.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
Left, and I now have nine cards in the center.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
Heat, just nine cards, Rohder. No matter how many cards
you began with, you will now be holding nine cards. Yes,
whenever you try that trick exactly as I described it,
you will always have nine cards at the finish.
Speaker 5 (11:25):
I'm going to try that myself.
Speaker 2 (11:26):
First.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I deal three heat and there.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Is a trick that everybody can do. I hope you
like that trick, ladies and gentlemen. And until next time,
This is Blackstone saying good magic and goodbye.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Be with us next time, when the world's greatest living magician,
Blackstone tells us the story how the Bird of Doom
and explains more tricks that you yourself can perform. Listening
again to Blackstone, the world's greatest living magician, mhm

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
