:13:00
Everyone, I'd like to make
a toast to C.W. Briggs.
:13:04
Thanks to you, the police now have
the stolen Picasso in their possession.
:13:08
- Attaboy, C.W.
- C.W.!
:13:10
By the way, where'd you come up with
the idea of looking in the telescope?
:13:13
What I do is I put myself
in the criminal's position.
:13:18
I try and anticipate what would he
do next, what his next move would be.
:13:21
- I think like him.
- That's fantastic.
:13:25
I would hate to have me after me.
:13:27
- [ Group Laughing]
- [Woman ] Very good, very good.
:13:30
What are you thinking, Mr. Magruder?
You look lost in reverie.
:13:34
Sorry. I was thinking about
a column I read in the paper...
:13:37
about all these Germans occupying Paris.
:13:39
- Yeah, it doesn't look good.
- C.W., you ever been to Paris?
:13:42
[ C.W. ]
I've never been out of the country.
:13:45
Zero- dash-six, eight-dash-five,
:13:49
eight, five, seven.
:13:51
That's right. That's exactly correct.
:13:57
And now for something I call
the power of the Jade Scorpion.
:14:01
- For this I'll need a few victims--
- [Laughing]
:14:03
I mean, volunteers from the audience
and help from a few nice people.
:14:07
- Oh, yes.
- Go on.
:14:10
- Sir?
- We got another one. C.W.!
:14:13
- Go ahead.
- We got another one forya.
:14:15
There's a sucker born every minute.
:14:18
- Represent us well, Briggs.
- [Magician] Many years ago...
:14:22
an emperor in China received as a gift
this precious pendant--
:14:28
a Jade Scorpion.
:14:31
It was said to possess
extraordinary powers--
:14:34
the power to darken men's minds.
:14:37
I can't get hypnotized.
I'm not a good subject.
:14:40
[Magician ]
Eyes only on the scorpion, please.
:14:43
Ears open only
to the sound of my voice.
:14:44
Ears open only
to the sound of my voice.
:14:45
Please, sir.
Sir, look at the scorpion.
:14:47
The surrender of the mind-
:14:50
The surrender
of the mind--
:14:54
They resist and resist,
