THREE SIMPLE TRICKS FOR THE
BOY MAGICIAN.

To be successful in the art of con-
Turing, even to a small degree, boy
must acquire the quality OF patience,
for only by so doing will he be able
to master those little movements OF
the hands necessary to deceive the
eyes of an audience
Very often the simplest magical
tricks are the most battling, and as
they usually require but little appar-
atuS and. are thus quickly prepared,
they are always popular among boys.
But when a trick is of simple ma
ture, its success Is generally largely
due to the cleverness with which it is
performed; therefore, 1t should be
practiced repeatedly before being ex-
hIbited, until every step is thorough
ly memorized and it can be gone
through gracefully without a single
blunder.
Three excellent tricks are described
below.
To Mako II Coins Increase to 20.
In this trick IL coins (nickels and
pennies will do) are dropped into a
ilate, each being counted as dropped;
then in order to impress the number
of the coins upon the minds of the
audience they are picked up one by
one, counted, and dropped into sec
ond plate, and a member Of the audi
ence is invited to count them over for
a third time, placing them back in
the first plate. With everybody salts
fed that there are but IA coins, a
wand is passed around the plate, and
the magician declares that the coins
have increased to the number of 70.
To prove his statement he requests
one of the audience to bring his hat
to the table, and after pouring the
plate of coins into the hat, asks that
they be counted. TO the surprise Of
all, the owner of the hat actually
finds 20 coins as stated
This is the secret of the trick On
the bottom of the first plate there is
small pocket that contains the ex-
ira coins. The plate used should be
an old one, because the rim upon the
bottom must be cut to form an open
ing to the pocket. The cutting should
be done with a Metallic and piece
Of the rim about one inch in length
should be removed. Gig. - IOut OF
a piece of thick cardboard cut disk
to fit inside Of the rim; then from
the center of this remove strip one
inch wide (the width of the opening
cut out OF the rim), and glue the
two remaining pieces to the bottom OF
the plate, as shown in Fig. 2, with
the space between left for the pocket.
A white piece Of paper of as nearly
the color of the china as possible
should next be fitted, inside OF the
rim and be pasted to the pieces OF
cardboard, to form the bottom of the
pocket. Fig. 8 shows sectional view
of the plate and pocket.
OF course the coins must be slipped
into the pocket beforehand, and dur
ing the performance of the trick the

plate must be held with the open end
of the pocket either level or tipped
up, until it is time to turn the coins
into the hat It is well to roll up
your coat sleeves before doing this
trick 80 no one will suspect that the
coins have dropped out OF them.
Te Break a Match; Then Restore 1t.
This trick is not only good one
for show. but is a splendid one to
do at q party. In full view OF the
audience. match is placed in the
center of handkerchief, the hand
kerchief is rolled up, and some one
is requested to take hold OF 1t and
feel that the match is there. Upon
acknowledging that it is, he is told
to break it, and he does as directed.
He declares that he felt the match
break, and all those within q rea-
sonable distance have heard 1t snap.
The magician then shakes out the

to pacify her, but finding this an i'm
possibility, lost control of his temper:

handkerchief, and to the amazement
of all, instead of q broken match the
whole match drops to the floor.
A previous preparation of the hand
kerchief is necessary for the trick.
The handkerchief should be a COM
mon one with wide border. Open
one hem at one end, as shown in Fig.
4, and slip one or more matches
through the opening and along the
hem, as indicated by the dotted lines
In Fig. 5. Now then, in performing
the trick, after the match is placed
in tho center of the handkerchief the
method of rolling it is very impor-
tant, it being necessary to conceal
the center match in the portion Of the
handkerchief nearest the performer,
and to bring one Of the matches In
the hem into position for the mem
Der OF the audience to break. This
trick, OF course, can be repeated as
many times as you have unbroken
matches in the hem, but 1t is not q
wise plan to have more than three at
the most, because it is difficult to
keep track of them and prevent the
breaking of the wrong match.
To Transform Contents of a Glass.
After demonstrating to the audi
ence that drinking glass upon the
table before them contains an inky
fluid, by dipping pieces OF white card
board into it and showing their
blackened surfaces upon withdrawing
them, the boy magician declares that
he will proceed to convert the liquid
into water that is as clear as crystal.
Whereupon, he throws a napkin or
cloth over the tumbler, makes few
passes over it with his wand, and re-
moves the cloth, exposing to view g
tumbler of clear water. This is
poured out into a saucer to demon
strate its clearness.
Besides the glass tumbler, a piece
of black rubber large enough to fit
around the inside is required. To
the top edge of this, upon the side
farthest from the audience, a piece OF
fine white silk thread should be fast
ened, brought up over the side Of the
tumbIer, and tied to small chip OF
wood.
OF course the glass is filled with
clear water to the height of the top
edge of the strip of rubber, and the
pieces of cardboard that are dipped
into the water are white upon one
side and black halfway up on the
other side. Then, when dipped into
the tumbler, they are turned around
black side to the audience before be-
ing withdrawn. When the napkin is
lifted from the tumbler, the chip on
the end of the silk cord is picked up
with it and the piece Of black rubber
removed from the tumbler, concealed
beneath the napkin.
