BERGLAS: I have to say
he was a great magician because of the reputation he made,
and many people said, "Well, I could do that,
I know that gag, I know that trick." It makes its way into the tin here.
(EXCLAIMS) The trick in magic is unimportant.

creating an atmosphere,
that's what's important. One, two, three!
AUDIENCE: One, two, three... How's that, then? It was presented to me
by the Magic Circle. £200 it cost.
Cos it's very special wood. I mean, look at the grain
in that wood, look. And it would be another special
but much longer piece of wood that would help take Tommy
to the next stage of his career - a starring role on the big screen
