RIMINI'S MAGIC.

A new professor of magic has opened his temple
of necromancy, at the Egyptian-hall, Piccadilly. M.
Rubini comes to the metropolis with a good continental
and provincial reputation, and with him he brings
a number.of new experiments which seem calculated
to render him a great attraction. His tricks are all
cleverly and neatly performed, and if some of them
have not the air of novelty about them, they lose
nothing by their repetition. Rubini concludes his
entertainment by a very clever trick, viz., cutting
off a lady's head, and then replacing it again with-
out the object of the dread experiment seeming at
all the worse for the operation. Rubini's magic.tt
entertainment is well worth a visit.

impertinence to express a mere hope that there 005
