MARvELs OF INDIAN MAGICIANs.
Wonderful Feat of which Lord Lyt-
ton Was a Witness.
From Longman's Magazine.

From Longman's Magazine.
The following story of Indian magic was
told me by the person to whom 1t was
told by the late Lord Lytton. / give it in
my own words, for the excellent though
hurniliating reason that l have mislaid
the manuscripts. When in India Lord
Lytton often sought out conjurers, but
never saw any but the usual feats, such
as the mango tree trick and the basket
trick. The method in each case is known
or, at all events, plausible explanations
have been given by Mr.. Maskelyne and
other experts. On one occasion Lord Lyt-
ton liked something in the looks of the
conjurer who was performing in the open
space before his house. After the ordi-
nary exhibition his lordship asked the
magician if he could not do something
more out of the common way.
The man said he wouldstry, and asked
for ring, which Lord Lytton gave him.
He then requested an officer to take in
either hand handful of seeds-one sort
was sesame, The name of the other sort
my informant did not know. Holding
these seeds, and having the ring between
his finger and thumb, the officer was TO
60 to a well in the corner of the com
pound. He was to dispose of the seeds
in a certain way-I think on the low wall
around the well, into the depths of which
he was to throw the ring. All this was
done, and then the mage asked Lord Lyt-
ton where he would like the ring to re-
appear. He answered sin his dispatch
box" of which the key was attached to
his watch chain, or at all events he had
it with him on the spot. The dispatch
box was brought out, Lord Lytton opened
ii and there was the ring. This trick would
be easy if the British officer was a con-
Tolerate ofYthe juglers, and IF he possess
ed duplicate key to the dispatch box.
In that case he would not throw the ring
into the well, but would take il into the
house, open the box and insert the ring.
But this explanation involves enormous
improba blities, while IL is unlikely. again,
that the conjurer managed to insert
duplicate ring into the dispatch box be-
forehand. Lord Lytton then asked the
juggler il he could repeat the trick. He
answered in the affirmative, and lady
lent another ring. Another officer took
it, with the seeds. as before, and dropped
the ring into the well. The countenance
Of the juggler altered in the pause which
followed. Something, he said, had gone
wrong, and he seemed aeitatcd. Turning
10 the second officer, he asked: Ibid you
