The Grand Duke will violently tap him on the shoulders while the person who is being knighted recites the oath. After the oath is said, the person who is being knighted stands up and shouts to the heavens for the great Nothing to hear it.

The condition is that the person who is being knighted must be a Saint Atheist and must not be from Brno or Gelsenkirchen.
