with the unprepared side towards the spec
tators. 1t Is then rapidly lowered, with a
vertical sweep, showing apparently the OPP
posite side of the knife. AS a matter of
fact. however, the thumb under cover of
the downward movement. causes 1t to make
half turn in the hand. and Ii Is, therefore.
i'm reality the same surface which is
throughout exhibited.
If the conjurer is fairly expert, he may
prepare the paperknife with two, or even
three coins. and produce them in turn. ap-
parently showing both sides of the knife
before each production.
TWO COINS MADE INTO ONE.
Having thus turned one coin into two.
the wizard may proceed to show that the
two are in reality one only, the second be-
ing, in fact. merely Tin spiritualistic
phrase) the astral double of the other.
To demonstrate this, he takes a small
sized pocket handkerchief and spreads it
squarely over plate, with it's sides paral-
lei with the edges of the table. In the CEN
ter he lays the two sixpences. the bor-
rowed one undermost, and invites the most
sceptical gentleman of the company TO sat
isfy himself that they are really there, and
that there is mo deception" He then turns
down in succession all four corners of the
| handkerchief Tin the order shown by the
numerals in the diagram) in such manner
| that they shall just cover the coins. The
| handkerchief is now shown in Figure 2.
Inserting the first and second fingers of
each hand at the point marked A, he draws
| the hands slowly apart. at the same time
| lifting the handkerchief, and allowing the
| coins to slide out on the plate. Strange to
! say. however, it is only the borrowed coin
which does so, the other having mysteri-
ously disappeared.
The magical agent in the present in
stance consists of tiny pellet of soft wax.
which is lightly pressed till needed. against
| the lowest button of the performers vest.
| While the sceptical gentleman is scrutiniz-
i ing the coins he scrapes this off with the
nail of the forefnger and in the act OF
| turning down the first corner of the hand
| kerchief presses it against such corner,
| which he folds down so that the pellet
| shall rest on the center of the uppermost
| coin. The wax makes the coin adhere to
| the handkerchief, and the act of moving
| the hands apart draws it into the right
| hand the borrowed coin alone falling or
| the plate, on which 1t is in due course
| handed back to the owner.

Time was, when wizards were very
close corporation. and wfien an enlightened
public did its best TO make 1t even more
select by occasionally burning a member.
Nowadays popular opinion has veered
round in an opposite direction, and to say
of man that he is mo conjurer" is a deli
cate way of suggesting that he is-well,
not so sharp as he might be. To enable
my readers to prove that against them, at
any rate. no such reproach can be brought,
is the object of the present paper.
I cannot better begin than by instructing
them
HOW TO MAKE ONE COIN INTO TWO.
1t has been well said that the man who
makes two ears of corn grow where only
one grew before does an essential service
TO mis- country. What. then, shall be said OF
him who, by the simple expedient Of rub
bling it against a paperknife, causes a six
pence to multiply in like manner? Even a
millionaire might be glad to double his
capital quickly and so easily.
All that Is needed is to attach beforehand
to one side of the paperknife, by means of
a little soap. a sixpence of your own. To
show the trick, take the knife in the left
hand, with the prepared side undermost:
then, taking borrowed coin of like value,
lay 1t on the upper side, and placing the
ball of the right thumb upon it, move IT
backwards and forwards along the blade.
With the thumb in this position, the fingers
are naturally brought below the knife, and
can. at any desired moment, bring the two
sixpences together, the one being appar-
emily transformed into two.
BY an expedient familiar to the merest
novice in conjuring, the paperknife may,
Notwithstanding the adhesion of the six
pence, be shown to all appearance free
from preparation. To do this il Is first

are all shown in the accompanying illus

playing; yet the tyro knows that a dozen
people could no more play together at poker
with pack of cards, at all events
than they could at whist. Had Mr. Harte
forgotten, or was il that he never knew the
game which is so often mentioned in his
pages?

genuine cigarette, offer to pass the smoke
from it into a tumbler (of thin clear glass;
which he shows empty and apparently in
glass upside down on plate, he directs
the smoke from his lips towards it, The
smoke disperses, but is seen to gather again
under the tumber.
. A still more surprising effect may be pro-
duced by the performer offering to pass not
only the smoke, but the fire. from his cigar
cite under the tumbler. To do this he places
the plate bit of crumpled paper, and
covers it with the glass. He continues to
puff at the cigarette and to direct the
smoke towards the tumbler. Presently the
bit of paper is seen to catch fire. The glass
being removed. the paper continues to burn
until 1t is entirely consumed.
AS the reader will no doubt have guessed.
the plate and glass are treated after the
manner described for the two pipes, the one
with liquid ammonia, the other with hydro
chloric acid. The bit of paper, which should
be extremely thin, is saturated with spirits
of turpentine, which will burst into flame
under the action of chlorine gas.
There is special advantage in the fact
that the smell of the tobacco tends i'm this
case to cover that of the ammonia which,
if perceived by the audience, might to some
extent give away" the trick.
