liar to that into which we blew. The
result is that the compressed air, di-
rectly the pressure is removed, rushes
out and blows upon the flame. 1t is
well to use a small candle, as il we
have a large candle with a big flame
the pressure may not be sufficient to
extinguish the flame. If we perform
the trick in front of a number of spec
tators we must not let them see US
blow into the bottle. This part of the
performance can be done outside the
room, and we can bring the bottle in
with our thumb over the opening,
keeping it there till the moment when
we want to release the air. This can
be done in such a way as not to at
tract notice.
