Facts That Seem Improbable, But Can
Easily BE Accomplished.

Facts That Seem Improbable, But Can
Easily BE Accomplished.
1t has always been wonder to the
uninitiated how the many sleight-of-
hand tricks which are performed night
ly by the different magicians in this
town are accomplished. To the mex
perienced the tricks seem hard, but any
body can do many of them provided
they have the necessary paraphernalia.
For instance, the trick of moving red
handkerchief from one bottle 10 another,
neat and ingenious illusion, can be
accomplished by the aid of threads and
holes in the bottles, one being pulled
out as the other is pulled in.
The trick of changing water in bot
tie to ink and the ink to water can be
done by twelye-year-old boy.
This is how it is done: The globe,
which appears to be full of ink, is in
reality full of water, but it is double
The outer globe is part of the stand,
which is hollow, while the inner globe
is fitted with cap of black silk ready
to be pulled down through the hollow
center Of the table at given signal, ex-
posing what is apparently only large
glass globe of water, but which is in
reality two. The change from water to
ink is effected by picking up between the
fingers little diamond (drab) wrapped
up in paper which is punctured with
holes, and quietly dropping it in the
globe while throwing the handkerchief
over it. Those who do not understand
tricks would not appreciate the i'm
portance of a little thing you can do
when down among the audience. IN
wrapping up the bottle with the hand
kerchief you can give it shake. The
shake is the explanation of the trick
it scatters the dye in the water and
makes it appear as ink.
1t has always been mystery. even to
those who understand how the mirror
tricks are accomplished, as to how ma
gicians could tell persons in the audi
ence on what day of the week they
we're born. Before telling this they
always ask their questioners to write
down the year of their birth, with the
day of the month. In each case he can
always give the correct days. This can
be accomplished as easy as falling off
log, and this is just exactly how 1t is
DONE Without going into elaborate ex-
plantations, here is table:
