Synopsis

An elderly-looking man asks spiritualist Diamanda to speak to the deceased Esmerelda. Looking into her crystal ball, Diamanda claims that Esmerelda is happy and requests money for more information... only for the man to reveal that Esmerelda is fictional. Taking off his disguise, he reveals himself as Harry Houdini and scolds Diamanda for offering false hope at the expense of people's money. The spiritualist confirms his accusation, but adds that after acquiring her crystal she has in fact been hearing dead voices, "and so much more besides..." Diamanda orders the crystal ball to save her, and Houdini is met by a milky white vortex. Using his pocket watch to create a signal, Houdini mutters that there is only one hope for him...
