TRICKS with ropes, such as tying
u magic knots" which were
originated by sailors, are still a
popular pastime, especially with
the amateur conjurer, who usually
substitutes string. In some in
stances, he may even find a silk
handkerchief a satisfactory substi-
tute for the rope or string.
Here is q clever but simple trick
performed with a loop Of string
and a pencil.
First bore a tiny hole through
a pencil one-fourth Of an inch from
the end. The string is then
threaded" through the hole and
the ends tied together to form n
loop that is a little shorter than
the length Of the pencil.
Next the magician requests n
Of his spectators to pass the loop
of string or the pencil through a
buttonhole of his coat or vest and
draw the pencil through the loop
securely to fasten it to the gar
ment. The spectator at ono finds
himself in difficulties, for how can
the pencil be passed through the
loop when the latter is shorter
than the former? Here is the Sc
cret:
