The Magician

Overview
When 'Vogler's Magnetic Health Theater' comes to town, there's bound to be a spectacle. Reading reports of a variety of supernatural disturbances at Vogler's prior performances abroad, the leading townspeople (including the police chief and medical examiner) request that their troupe provide them a sample of their act, before allowing them public audiences. The scientific-minded disbelievers try to expose them as charlatans, but Vogler and his crew prove too clever for them.

00:18:17 Perhaps Mr Aman is also deprived of the gift of speech?
00:20:57 Stick out your tongue.
00:24:12 - I don't understand, Mrs Egerman. - We see you're lying.
00:27:05 I think they're people to watch out for. They look awful.

00:32:42 Conceivable. The main thing isn't faith, but the power. Sofia felt the power.
00:36:11 At the moment I recall a Russian princess with...
00:38:36 - I won't break. - Well... it seems different as I said.
00:42:02 Does that button have to be undone as well? It's all so terribly difficult.
00:45:10 - Did you hear, little one? - I'm almost sleeping.
00:49:27 Mr Vogler. You must forgive those people. I mean they humiliated you.
00:53:02 I am already in disintegration.
00:58:16 - Your husband feels the same? - He doesn't speak.
01:00:58 You do me an honour, Doctor.

01:09:08 Antonsson is a hefty man, but his physical powers are nothing -
01:15:00 Don't you think so?
01:18:29 Would you do me a favour?
01:29:28 - I promise we won't come back. - And who did I examine?
01:32:48 It must be that love potion. Because I can't think the way I've decided to.
