A Trick in Balancing

The playing card is held in the
hand in the manner pictured in
t h g accompanying illustration.
The thumb must be at one side
Of the card and the fingers at
the other. With the card cor
rectly held the conjurer picks up
a glass which he had just filled
with water and easily sets it upon
the edge Of the playing card. He
Immediately removes his hand
that held the glass, which re-
mains perfectly balanced and not
a drop of water is spilled.
Of course, the balancing is a
trick, the secret of which is as
follows:
The magician sets the glass of
center on the edge Of the card
so hat it would fall backwards
were it not prevented from doing
SO by his forefnger which is ex-
tended to support the glass. Of
course, the face of the card con-
ceals this action, but as see by
the audience, the glass appears
to be balanced on the edge of
the card. The lower part Of the
drawing is a side view of the
trick indicating just how the
f%orefinger supports the glass.
