1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast am on

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: iHeart Radio and welcome back to Coast to Coast George

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: nor with you, Professor slim King back with us. A parent,

4
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: normal researcher for really the majority of his life, Professor

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: has designed mental illusions for dozens of professional magicians, including

6
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 1: David Copperfield. He's a proud recipient of both the Merlin

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: and Houdini Awards and Radio Magic, and claims to be

8
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: the world's foremost authority on Houdini's life after death. He

9
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: has written about the terat pendulums, numerology, palmistry, as well

10
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: as dreams and omens. And here he is back on

11
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: Coast to Coast. Professor always a pleasure. It's great to

12
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: be back on this show. I love this show. Well,

13
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,240
Speaker 1: we love you. Have you been. I've been really good.

14
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: It's in a great year for me. And I've just

15
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: got to say that, like Lisa Lyon and Stephanie Smith,

16
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: members of your staff, they are top notch. I mean,

17
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I've been on a lot of shows before and they

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: probably know more about radio than they probably forgot more

19
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: than I am so blessed I've had them for going

20
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: on eighteen years and it's just remarkable. Yes, they are

21
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,679
Speaker 1: very very good. So it's the delight to work with

22
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: those gals and so fun to be on your show.

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: Wasn't Halloween one of Harry Houdini's favorite times? Yes, Oh

24
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 1: he loved Halloween. And it's kind of fitting that he

25
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: died on Halloween. And what all the spirits are everywhere

26
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: and turn around and so that's why they have all

27
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: these Harry Hoodony biances coming up this next couple of weeks.

28
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: Did he die in my hometown to Detroit, Professor? I

29
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 1: think so, I do too. I think that's where he

30
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 1: got smacked in the stomach or something. He busted his appendix.

31
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: Is that what happened to him? Yeah, he was hit

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 1: in the stomach and actually buy a spiritualist. And this

33
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: was about ten days before he died, so he would

34
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: in the hospital about three days later. This Harry Peney

35
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: was really strong person. It took him about a week

36
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: to die in the hospital. So I think today is

37
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: like the anniversary of the day he went in. And

38
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 1: that's where they finalize the code, the Deani code with

39
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: his wife Beth. That was so amazing when Arthur Ford

40
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 1: came up with that in nineteen twenty nine. What's your

41
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,680
Speaker 1: take on Halloween. I mean, everybody celebrates it all over

42
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: the planet, don't they. I think Halloween is about the

43
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 1: biggest It's bigger worldwide than any other holiday. If you

44
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: kind of combine all the different holidays from the different

45
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: from like China and Japan, they all have a version

46
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: of Halloween, and they all come. Most of them are

47
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: in the fall and write about the end of October

48
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: in the beginning of November, professor, Is it one of

49
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: those pagan rituals, Halloween, Well, it's combination. The Catholic Church

50
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: kind of had of a thing where they would adapt

51
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: pagan ritual or something into the Catholic Church, kind of

52
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: bring in the sheep or whatever, however you're gonna look

53
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: at it. And so they started All Saints Day, which

54
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: was November first, and All Souls Day November second, and

55
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 1: that coincided with some Celtic you know, pagan rituals around

56
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: the same time. Everybody has their own kind of a

57
00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: Day of the Dead, the Dia de los Muertos, the

58
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Day of the Day South America Spanish things, so people celebrate, uh,

59
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: you know, the death of people and that their life

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: or some existence goes on. Are any of the celebrations

61
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: evil or dangerous? Well, that depends on who you're talking to,

62
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 1: but some are very, very very dangerous. If you're digging

63
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: up dead bodies, I don't know if that's the most

64
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 1: sanitary thing. And some of these, like in Malaysia, they

65
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: dig up the body and rearrange the bones and repackage

66
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: the person, have like a picnic with them, and then

67
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: put them back in the ground. How long had that

68
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: person been dead? When they do this, they do it

69
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:30,159
Speaker 1: annually until the person's totally decomposed. Oh my god. So

70
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: and then there's a big controversy because they have a

71
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 1: an old fashioned plague in some of those areas, and

72
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:44,359
Speaker 1: it's because of this practice. Some medical doctors don't agree,

73
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: but it seems fair to me that maybe that might

74
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 1: be dangerous. You're kind of an expert in dealing with

75
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,239
Speaker 1: communicating with the other side. How did you get involved

76
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: in that? Well, I've been studying that and what bowl

77
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,839
Speaker 1: of how they do it. Of course, this anything really

78
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: got me excited because he was able to contact to

79
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: Deanie our ford was and and then since our show

80
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: last year, my father passed away. Oh I'm sorry to

81
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 1: hear that. Yes, and he and I were like, he

82
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: was my best friend. My father was my best friend.

83
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: We did a lot of things together and although he

84
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: lived about twenty five hundred miles away, we spoke on

85
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,159
Speaker 1: the phone two three times a week, and politically and

86
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 1: anything else we lined up. So we're very, very very close.

87
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 1: So communicating with him, and I wondered about this when

88
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: he was starting to fail and get weaker. Could I

89
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: communicate after he passed away? And I think a lot

90
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,480
Speaker 1: of people want to know, you know what's going on,

91
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,920
Speaker 1: you know what happens after they die. Sure, And so

92
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: that really got me since our last call, and so

93
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: I started checking out. And I knew Jeanette Ucas, who

94
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 1: you had on last week, and Jeanette kind of showed

95
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 1: me how to how to sleep and how to incubate

96
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: in your dreams and initiate this contact. And so I

97
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: started started trying and it flat out worked. It worked

98
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,160
Speaker 1: for me and my father, and it worked for my

99
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: best friend, my cousin. Share some of those techniques with

100
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: us A professor, Well, I meditate before I go to

101
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: bed and pray or if you believe in a divine

102
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: some kind of Creator or something. I asked that that

103
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: in my subconscious I believe the subconscious is the gateway

104
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: to the spiritual world. That they speak to us through

105
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: dreams and visions, and when you're in a trance or

106
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: if you're asleep and you're unconscious, that's how they communicate.

107
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 1: So I just asked, you know, the Supreme Being or whatever,

108
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 1: if they would allow that to happen while I sleep,

109
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: then I drink about. I drink about as much water

110
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: as I can hold. I drink look about a half

111
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: gallon of water. That's a lot of water. That's a

112
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 1: lot of water. And guess what that makes you do? Yeah,

113
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,640
Speaker 1: you get up enough? Right, you wake up at two

114
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: o'clock in the morning. You got right, You got to

115
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: go to the men's room. And but the good part

116
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: is you remember what you were dreaming about. Is that

117
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 1: why you do it? Yes? And that's kind of you

118
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: to wake up. The secrets that Jeanette taught me, And

119
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: so I began doing that and i'd wake up and

120
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: then you can keep a dream log. I just try

121
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,480
Speaker 1: to remember what happened. And so I get up and

122
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 1: I remember what was going on. And these dreams are

123
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 1: extremely vivid and uh, you know, I got on Facebook

124
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: and I asked all my friends. I got a couple

125
00:07:55,680 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: of thousand friends and I got literally dozens, over one

126
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 1: hundred people say that they see their relatives in their dreams.

127
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: I would believe that we get a lot of phone

128
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: calls from people who have seen their relatives, or they

129
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: come or they even The weird stuff is they get

130
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: calls on the telephone and you know, they have a

131
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: caller ID. The phone number may say zero zero zero

132
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: zero zero or something like that. That's strange too, you know,

133
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: I have and I always call him Uncle Otto. His

134
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 1: name is Otto Konig Koenig in Germany, and since the

135
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: sixties and now he's done itc work, he's done this,

136
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: you know, electronic communication, that's the other side. But he's

137
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 1: German and everything was published in German and sometimes French,

138
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: but um and just this last year they translated one

139
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 1: of his books and it's called Listen, and it's about

140
00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: using electronics talk to people on the other side. And

141
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: he's his lasers and all kinds of stuff. He's kind

142
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 1: of a scientist guy. He'll try anything just out of

143
00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: the box. Thinker Otto Konig and my relatives are all

144
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: nat Konig. So there was an original device called the

145
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: Spirit Calm that was developed years and years ago, and

146
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: that was a device that they claimed was used to

147
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: talk to the dead. It's it's interesting, but you know,

148
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: if you believe everything is energy, then there's that possibility

149
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: that you can communicate with the other side that way. Yes, yes,

150
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 1: energy is not created or lost, It goes somewhere. And

151
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: that's why I think your personality survive the imprint of

152
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: our personality survives and in another state. Listen to more
