INDIAN MAGIC.
A Trick that Mysffncd Lord Lyff0m

! and One That Dfdn't work.
The following story of Indian magic
was told me by the person TO whom it
.WasatQld by the late Lord Lytfon. /
in my own words for the ex-
though humiliating reason that
IS mislaid the manuscript.
I.N1 in India Lord Lytton often
60 out conjurers. but never saw
2Sl# the usual feats. such as the
tree trick and the basket trick.
aethod in each case is known,
Ill events plausible explanations
7lpoen given by Mr.. MaskeIyne
other experts. On one occasion
"a Iytton liked something In the
IooLs of the conjurer WHO was perform
/ ing IN an open space before his house.
After the ordinary exhibition his lord
ship asked the magician If he could not
do something more out of the common
way The man said he would try and
asked for a ring, which Lord Lytton
gave him. He then requested IN oil
GER to take in either hand a 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 go to a well
in the corner of the compound. He
was to dispose of the seeds in certain
way-I think on the low wall round
the WELL into the depth of which he
was to throw the ring. All this was
done. and then the magician asked
Lord Lytton where he would like the
| ring to reappear. He answered, In my
diSn1fch hny af oh no L
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 it, and there was
the ring.
This trick would be easy if the Brit
ish officer was a confederate of the
juggler and if he possessed a dupli-
cate key to the dispatch box. In that
case he would not throw the ring into
the well. but would take it into the
house. open the box and insert the
ring But this explanation involves
enormous improbabilities. while it is
unlikely again that the conjurer man
aged to insert duplicate ring into the
dispatch box beforehand. Lord Lyt-
ton then asked the juggler If 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 fol-
lowed. Something. he said, had gone
wrong, and he seemed agitated. Turn
ing to the second officer, he said, Did
you arrange the seeds as | babe you?"
NO" said the officer. 4 thought that
was nonsense, and threw them away
The juggler seemed Mortified. do you
think | do this by myself?' he said,
and. packing up, he departed
The well was carefully dragged. and
at last the lady's ring was brought to
the surface. THAT ring at least had
certainly been in the water But had
the first ring been as faithfully con-
signed to the depths? Experts viii
