the wonder magician of the day,
displayed a bagful of stunts last
night at the Shubert-GarricIs that
kept the entire audience busy
throughout the performance try-ng
to detect the solutions d his
varied mystifications.
In a sketch called THE LeTita-
ton of the Princess Karnac,
Thurston caused a sleeping girl to
rise from the stage to mid-air. To
prove that the girl was actually
suspended in the air without the
aid of wire or rope, the magician
called several members of the audi
eIce to witness the act On the
stage. In the air for ten minutes,
the sleeping girl was seen to slow
ly fall upon the stage.
Strapped in a box with her hands
and feet securely fastened, d
hypnotized girl was cut in two
parts, but to show that he did
not wish the young girl to become
separated for any length of time
cut parts into the fashion of a
whole woman. The saw used foI
the operation appeared to be virile
