Last Days Page #3

a lot of area to cover today.

We want 'em to stay,

right guys?

Is there a time

we can come back?

Blake?

Blake.

...when you come out,

because if you truly go--

if you truly go inside...

you know, if you

actually go there...

when you come out,

it can be

very frustrating.

Mmm.

Very...

I don't know,

it's just hard--

it's hard to speak

with other--

because you're speaking

like a different, uh...

Thank you

for your time.

Um, in the book--

- in the cover, there's scriptures--

- These?

Yes, and our phone number

if you have any questions.

- Thanks for the book.

- Thank you for having us inside.

- Nice to meet you.

- You have a good day.

Our number's in there

and if you could read

over the scriptures

and then give us a call

if you have any questions.

- All right.

- We have services on Sunday

from-- at 9:
00.

Um, okay.

You guys talk to Jesus for real?

Huh? Huh?

Then one day he thought the way

to make money--

there are a lot of--

a lot of people who had

exotic backgrounds in vaudeville.

There was a Chinese magician

named Ching Ling Foo

who was doing really well.

So Billy Robinson

sort of disappeared

and he resurfaced

as a Chinese magician

named Chung Ling Soo.

He had his hair cut off

and made into a queue--

you know, one of those long queues

at the back of his neck.

And he uh--

he had himself made up

to look like a Celestial.

And he became incredibly

well-known performing...

- Was he a prophet?

- ...in England.

No, he was a magician.

He was a stage magician.

- Oh.

- He did these really wonderful shows.

And the real

Chinese magician,

Ching Ling Foo, got

outraged and he tried

to have a competition with him.

There was headlines in the paper,

"Soo fools Foo,"

"Foo sues Soo."

You know, they had

this amazing rivalry.

Basically, the guy who wasn't

Chinese kind of won the contest,

as this great

Chinese magician.

The other thing he did--

he actually tried

to catch a bullet

in his teeth on the stage.

- What?

- And marksmen would get up.

They'd have

a bullet autographed.

I mean, you would nick with

your nail an initial into the bullet,

and a rifleman

would fire it at him.

And this Billy Robinson dressed up

as Chung Ling Soo would stand--

stand on the stage with a plate

in front of his mouth,

and the marksman would

fire the bullet.

And Chung Ling Soo would catch

the bullet in his teeth,

and then spit

the bullet onto the plate.

- You're shitting me.

- And they would check it.

And it would be the same mark that was

made by the guy in the audience.

- It was an amazing effect.

- Whoa.

It goes back

to the 16th century.

What was

that book called?
