Great Magical FeatB In Prospect,

"NNA--N>A
Of hand tricks at Bryan Hall, We areinformed,
is now arranging for the performance Of Two
feats which lave never before been performed
In this country, and which appear almost In u
credible, smacking more Of Arabian Nights y y
snpernaturalism than latter day realities. =
Hitherto, Hambujer's 1eats have been those y
often witnessed here, excepting that they are r
done In this instance without the usual ap- y
puttenances Of the magician's repertoire. | f
These new feats which bid fair to eclipse any {
thing ever witnessed here and which in foreign |
cities have drawn crowds by the thousands, !
are restoring the dead to life and euspending
a boy in the air By single hair Of his head
from floating ball. The first feat Is one we'll
known in India It consists in taking boy,
placing him under basket, thrusnng
a sword through it and drawing it out
asain covered with blood. The bas~
ket is taken off and physicians
are allowed to examine the body to ascertain
if there be life in it. Once more he Is placed
under the basket and pistol is discharged
into it. Again the basket is removed, but /
there is no body there. In moment the ap~
parently murdered boy makes his appearance
alive and well
by single hair to rubber ball filed with
chemical mixture by which he floats grace
| fully in the air at the Professors bidding. In
| addition to these, Hambujer is preparing seY"
| era1 other beautiful feats, the particulars Of
| which, rs well as Of other and great feats, We
/ shall give in q future issue.
