Another smart fake of alleged
mediums has been exposed with
the result that pretty parlor trick
can be worked by almost anyone,
with results startling to the audi
tors.
All you do is this; Put violin,
guitar or mandolin on table,
stamp your foot, and it will begin
to play. The music is not the kind
regularly made: it will sound weird
and far away, but none the less
distinctly.
Here is the way 1t is done: Place
one end of a long. slender pole on
a music box in the basement of the
house where the trick Is to be
worked. Let the other end pass up
alongside or behind or through the
leg of table. the end coming up
through a hole in the top, and
sticking up about one-sixteenth Of
an inch above. Balance the violin
sideways on this end of the pole,
and stamp your foot, which Is also
the signal for your confederate
downstairs to start the music box.
