A Magician, FuzzIjng London
For some time past we have been anus
ed IN London by the presence and lngcnu
iity Of two rival conjurers-Dr. Linn ant
Mr. Maskelyne. They outdid one another
in marvels, and arc found to occupy room:
side by side at the Egyptian Hall. il
Piccadilly. At last DR.. Linn came ou
vita clever but ghas,]y trick Of cutting
mans head of. But Mr.. Maskclync, no
to be beaten, has invented mechanical
contrlvancc called Psyche which is mar
vel among automa,a, and already the tall
of all London. Psyche is human igur'
resting on square box or case, literally
lfllcd with clockwork and elaborate ma
chincry, and this case, with the dummy
figure or doll resting upon it, is placed OF
Ia glass cylinder in the center of the stage
It is absolutely impossible that man Cal
be concealed under the figure TO work it
as was the case with the once celebrated
automatic chcss-player. The box unde
Psyche is extremely small, and completed!
filed with machinery Of an elaborate kind
But at the command of Mr.. Maskelyn'
Psyche adds figures together, multiplies
Isub.racts, and performs various astound
ling feats in mental arithmetic. He is ais,
able to tell what cards have been subtract
ed from pack by several people in tn
audience. But the most marvellous tricl
performed by Psyche consists in his play
ing hand at whist with three gentlemen
selected from the audience. When th'
cards ore delt Psycho's cards are arranged
in front of him on semi circular frame
The cards played are called out by MIR
Maskelyne, and, when Psycho's turn
comes to play. the figure looks wise, turns
bis head, puts out his hand and selects th'
necessary card. He plays an excellen
game, never revokes or makes mistake
and the feat is rewarded with the mos
unbounded applause. Mechanicians ar,
wild about the discovery, which reflects
great credit on the ingenious skill of th'
Psyche was first introduced
idown at Sandringham by express ordel
and command of II. r. H., the Prince ol
Letter.
