Part 3

As the video begin to play there was that familiar static and crackle, that I remembered from watching my favorite videos as a kid. The words," Video Number Five" , scrolled across the screen. The same familiar voice from videos 1 through 4 began to speak. " I see you found video number five. I guess Adam likes you .", the Voice began. The screen was black as in all the other videos. As he spoke I pictured the image of Einstein. He just sounded like an old professor. " So as I said before, the practice of alchemy has been considered a myth for years .", he continued. Realizing that he was recapping everything that had been covered in the first videos. I decided to fast forward the video, stopping every few seconds to hear where he was in his talk. "Bla bla bla", I thought.

"Realizing that we know had the technology to split atoms..." Yes! I had finally gotten to the good part. Suddenly the video went to static. "What! ", I said as I smacked the vcr. A guy in a magicians outfit appeared on the screen. " Come to amazing's house of magic", he screamed with an infomercial tone of voice. "Where we have everything a good performer needs to entertain his audience ." I stared at the screen dumb-founded, as series of princess marionette puppets flashed across the screen. " Only 29.99", I heard the magician say as I came to myself.

I grabbed the remote and clicked on fast forward. The images on the screen scrolled by as follows: Amazing house of magic magician, princess marionette puppets, 29.99, amazing house of magic magician, princess marionette puppets, 29.99. This continued for at least three recorded commercials. Finally the screen turned back to the familiar black, and the voice I desperately yearned to hear came back on. " The beauty of this process is that all these ingredients, I mentioned, can be found at your local hardware store. Yet, I warn you again. There are serious consequences for bending the laws of creation."
