GREAT choice for an encore!

- The music in this is classic 1974 RMT at its best...a lot of it was used in another Ian Martin '74 script, "The hand", an RMT timeless classic.

- A few amusing lines from this one:

*"Abracadabra, right on the bed, 250,000 in fifties and hundreds like...POW!"

*"I'll just take my shirt off and let the sun shine on my 'manly chest'."

* (Prior to the "Abracadabra" line) "I should pay a visit to my local psychiatrist but just in case black magic hasn't gone out of style..."

- William Redfield was an RMT actor we lost early to leukemia...seemingly WAY too early, even before the RMT stopped production. This is one of my all-time favorite performances of his.

- I wonder what it would have been like had Martin's voice as the "imp" been different. Sounds like a big menacing "genie" type, but his voice for the character was, well, a bit wimpy. Or maybe it was that way to suggest that even with his power he was completely under the un-loving control of another being, with no hope whatsoever...

- Interesting how ANYTHING connected with magic in the RMT was almost always ultimately linked with Satan. Witches, incantations, imps in bottles...everything!
