The merciless Ming had found-way to cross into our Earth-realm from his far-away dimension to investigate of capitalism shapes in our 21st-Century and spotted a cyber-blogging prince of magic and illusions romance who believed he was the great legendary magician (Houdini) reincarnated.

The magician, Mr. Amlan Satan (aka, 'Shadow'), Slovak-Algerian Catholic-American 2nd-gen immigrant, was once-told by a European palm-reader that he really was Houdini reincarnated; but Mr. Satan remained skeptical (Facebook-like).

HOUDINI (Mr. Satan): Look, I'm not certain I'm Houdini here, Mister Ming.

MING: I am Ming, the merciless, a dimension-traveling space-conquest sorcerer!

HOUDINI (Mr. Satan): Ha, I'm sure you believe that; and I appreciate this email!

MING: I am Ming, and I'm a consciousness-sense man and know you're Houdini.

HOUDINI (Mr. Satan): Ha, well...I like my 21st-Century world; I like magic/comics.

MING: Sure, sure...and your new-century Blue-Planet is 'rich' with science-oddity!

HOUDINI (Mr. Satan): It's true, sir; and I like bio 'things' for agility (Oscorp, etc.).

MING: Your 21st-Century Blue-Planet is 'rich' with kinesthesia for fortune/risk, sir!

HOUDINI (Mr. Satan): That it is, Mister Ming; I inquiry-retort with Madden-rings.

MING: Good...perhaps I spy on your 'capitalism' from my dimension (farewell).

HOUDINI (Mr. Satan): Facebook-like.

Well, the merciless Ming had decided to return to his far-away dimension to continue his spy-eye watch of our 21st-Century Earth 'dominion' of things of capitalism/machinery; and he continued to watch the fortune-illusions magic arts work of Mr. Amlan Satan, a Slovak-Algerian Catholic-American 2nd-gen immigrant performance-art 'good-fellow' who still had no certain-clue that he was (indeed!) the great legendary magician Houdini reincarnated (wow). Ming thought of our modern Earth-realm as 'rich' with the machinery and color and 'glass' of things...quicksand (hmmm).
