Silver-tipped wand used in floating

table illusion not same as this one...

which you carry up sleeve,

from which you produce orchid.

Mechanism make most potent

murder weapon. Observe.

[Clicks]

Easy for magician to

confuse picture of crime-

even to inflicting wound in

own shoulder to avert suspicion.

All right, men. Take him out.

- So sorry.

- I didn't know, Mr. Chan. I never even suspected.

Rhadini sure was covered

up, but we nicked this case.

Appreciate valuable

assistance. But please remember:

Obvious clues, like tricks in

magic, usually prove deceptive.

You bet. From now on, I'll be just like you.

I'll keep both feet right on the ground.

~~[Orchestra:
"San Francisco"]
