Easy Lesson I'm Magic.

Almost all tricks of legerdemain owe their eff
feet to some cunningly contrived apparatus, and
not to any skill on the part of the performer.
The trick We are about to describe is an excep-
tion. No apparatus is needed-no parapherna-
liza is necessary. But sleight-of-hand is. Also
some "cheek:"
The Egg TricE.-Alihough this trick may seem
to partake of the marvellous, it is, in fact, very
simple. An egg slightly iudisposed will answer
the purpose, If = healthy one is not obtainable.
First pass the egg around the audience, to con
vince them that it doesn't contain false bot
tom. Now attract their attention by relating q
little story about hen in Oshkosh that laid
four eggs ON each week day, and seven on Sun
day. This will put the audience in good humor.
Then call upon young man with light trows-
ers to assist you in the trick. When be comes
upon the stage, motion him chair, and, Us he
is in the act of sitting down, deftly place the
egg under him. You will he astonished ut the
fluent manner in which he quotes profane histo:
ry. In performing this trick, always select q
small man to assist you, rs it will pro We health
