Magician Kellar has an illusion in
his program this year that Is posi-

diums. He places little cabinet, per-
haps foot and half square, upon u
sheet of plate glass, raised four feet
from the floor In full light. In this
tiny cabinet, the size of which pre-
cludes the possibility of human assist
ance. he causes to come about all the
so-called manifestations, usually seen
at u seance where n full sized cabinet
In a darkened room, is used. He says,
the ghost of an old time necromnnccr,
named Cagiiostro, works the little
cabinet, but that's little joke Of Ilel-
hr's. It's trlckery pure and simple,
for that is Kellars great stock In
trade. Many new illusions and new
