Stage magician James Randi, AKA “The Amazing Randi” talks about Harry Houdini .

Magician James Randi, professionally known as “The Amazing Randi”, interviews with television host, Dennis James. Dennis James, holding a book on Harry Houdini, asked James Randi if “Houdini was rigged?”, to which James Randi answers “Houdini above all was an entertainer. And if in some cases he had to prepare some piece of apparatus and present them more or less to challenge the intelligence or ingenuity of his audience, or whether he would use some legitimate props, as we know that he did- in the way of handcuffs, and some packing cases and straitjackets- whether he had to do it by one of those two means, he still entertained people”. On whether magic tricks are done by actual magic, James Randi says, “I must admit that things are not really done by magic. I hate to make this admission, they'll hate me for it but it’s true”. James Randi talks about how Harry Houdini’s legacy affects his career as a magician. “I could never hope to be another Houdini. I have never tried to be another Houdini. I’ve tried to be Randi instead of Houdini but it’s still is quite a wall to scale...the man who walked through walls...I’ve always felt he left me standing in the shadow of that wall.” says James Randi.

A crass, cigar-smoking miniature G.I. fairy called the “Technical Fairy (First Class)” appears and grants Private Snafu’s wish. As a member of the Tank Corps, Private Snafu rides a tank across rugged terrain with difficulty controlling the tank.

The cockpit falls from the mountain, where Private Snafu finds himself back in the Infantry. “I see you’re back sir, here is your pack sir.” says the Technical Fairy as he hands over a pack to Private Snafu. “All the roads are pretty rough, parlay-voo,” sings the Technical Fairy, to the tune of “Hinky Dinky Parlez Vou (Mademoiselle from Armentières)”. “and all the services are tough, parlay-voo” sings back Private Snafu as he and the Technical Fairy march together. The Technical Fairy and Private Snafu sing “any "soldier or gob" should "finish the job"- Hinky Dinky Parlez Vou” as they march away.
