Conan, Heiji, Ran, and Kazuha are at Dogo Hoshikawa's magic show. Things get serious when Dogo enters a cube of water with chains and something goes wrong, prompting Ran and Kazuha to rush on stage to break it open. Dogo escapes unscathed, revealing it was part of the trick. As a award for their concern, Ran and Kazuha are invited to come to a party with Dogo, where they meet Tenko Himemiya, Riki Handa, and Mari Masakage, wife of legendary magician Mr. Masakage. A number a notable magicians are mentioned, and Dogo, Riki, and Tenko were once pupils of Mr. Masakage before he disappeared 10 years ago. All that remains of him are his magic notes and magazines which are kept in an archive room down a very creepy narrow hallway. Tenko announces her next magic trick called the "Burning of the Witch", where is she tied to a cross, burned, then reappears from the ashes. She leaves to freshen up for dinner but does not return. Dogo, Kazuha, and Ran go to find her. They use the creepy hallway and a blackout occurs. When the lights are restored, they find Tenko's bloody corpse, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, at end of the hallway. (Source: Wikipedia)
