: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,
:15:00
but the scorpion likes resistance.
:15:02
[Magician ]
What is your name, sir?
:15:06
C.W. Briggs.
:15:08
What do you do, Mr. Briggs?
:15:11
I'm an insurance investigator...
:15:13
for North Coast Casualty
and Fidelity of New York.
:15:18
- What is your name, miss?
- Betty Ann Fitzgerald.
:15:21
I also work at North Coast.
:15:24
- So you work together?
- I can't stand her.
:15:27
- [Laughing]
- Oh, come now.
:15:29
Don't pay attention to him.
:15:31
He's a sleazy little megalomaniac
who's frightened of women.
:15:35
- Enough. Sleep.
- [Laughing Continues]
:15:37
Silence.
:15:39
You are now at the
first level of trance,
:15:42
but the Jade Scorpion wants you
to go to the deepest level.
:15:46
When I say the word Constantinople,
:15:48
you will instantly drop into
the deepest hypnotic trance.
:15:51
All resistance will disappear.
:15:54
When I say the word Madagascar,
:15:56
you will go immediately to
the deepest level of hypnotic sleep,
:15:59
and you will obey all my orders.
