Hola, padre. Have you lost your way? By all accounts, I'm staying here.
You're cordially invited to the wedding of the year.
It's lost. It's their holiday. And I don't think they'll be happy to kind of curtail their behavior just because they're sharing with a priest.

These sacred vows. Sunday, February 1st on RTE One and RTE Player. Here in Ireland, we do things on our own terms. A few things we do every year.

If that's the case, you can go back and forth again and again.
Every year, we do a return game.

Chapter 2: What is the story behind the Frozen Lady?
You can't hear a sound.
They are still, aren't they?
Now I will allow water to run into the sarcophagus of the living dead. The sarcophagus is filling, filling.
Chapter 3: How does Blackstone perform his magic tricks?
Were it not that the beautiful maiden were unconscious, were her spirit knocked out of her body, He could not survive the ordeal.
Golly, that's quite an act, Blackstone.
He's doing it very well. It's amazing I haven't heard about him before.
Yeah, that is funny, isn't it? You know most of the magicians.
And now, the test. I shall start the freezing apparatus. And soon the sarcophagus will be a solid block of ice with the maiden frozen within. She is freezing. She is freezing. The maiden is freezing into a solid block of ice. The ice is forming around her heart. Stop!
Stop! Oh, stop the ice freezing! Oh, stop it, I say! I can't let my daughter go through with this. It's too dangerous!
Stop! Mrs. Van Antwoord, please, before it is too late. It is too late.
What do you mean? Too late.
You have broken the spell, Mrs. Van Antwoord. The spirit of your daughter was hovering between two worlds when you cried out. Your scream has broken the spell. Quick, help me someone. Chop open the block of ice.

Chapter 4: What happens during the performance of the Swami Genghis?
What do you mean? The swami had put her in the coffin, flooded it with water, frozen the water, and the girl had vanished. She'd vanished before the water was put into the coffin.
The bottom of the coffin was a trap door, you see, that led her down into the room below.
She wasn't even hypnotized. That drink of water the swami gave her contained dope.
You see, Blackstone had done this trick often. He knew what was supposed to have happened.
But why did the swami pull the gag about her spirit being between two worlds?
I bet he's wondering that himself along about now.
What do you mean?
Well, he's got plenty of time for wondering. Why? He's in jail.
This trick of his was a very fancy kidnapping and extortion racket. He'd banish the daughter, you see, and then hold many expensive seances paid for by the heartbroken mother to dry and bring back the girl. Well, that's one of the cruelest ideas I've ever heard in my life.

Chapter 5: How does the audience react to the hypnotism act?
But the pack of cards is bent.
That's right. I bent them when I put them in the hat. But our two cards were not bent. That's right. They weren't. And that's how I found them.
And all you had to do was reach in the hat, find the straight card, and you had them.
That's the trick. Remember, two cards are taken first. While people are looking at them, you put the pack in the hat.
And bend it. I mean the pack.
Yes, you bend the pack. Then put another hat on top. And let the people push their chosen cards between the hats. Then shake the hats to mix the cards. Exactly. Then reach in the hat and find the two straight cards. It'll fool them every time. Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you liked that trick. And now, until next time, this is Blackstone saying good magic and goodbye.
Be with us next time when the world's greatest living magician, Blackstone, tells us the story of the Hooded Rider and explains more tricks that you yourself can perform. Listen in again to Blackstone, the world's greatest living magician.
