A MOTHER important item: In read
ing these exposes OF magic. don't
overlook the smallest detail. Remem-
Der that many of the details Of magic
are so simple that you may make the
mistake of thinking them unim-
portant. That very mistake has been
fatal to many magic beginner. When
explained. the method OF doing many
tricks is ridicnlotisiy simple. Yet how
mystifying these tricks are to the au-
dience when their secret is not known!
The amateur very often has the idea
that a trick or illusion must be very
elaborate He thinks that the method
of operation and the apparatus used
must necessarily be extremely COM
plicated. II there are any such be-
levers among my readers. they should
discard the idea Immediately. OF
course flash" or color is necessary
in a vaudeville or stage act, but re-
member that in the simplicity of your
tricks lies their great power to mystify
the other fellow.
Another important element is
naturalness in performing. II you at
tempt to put any magic over with stiff
hands-for example, in palming a
small ball-it would take your audi
ence but few seconds to expose the
trick You can't expect to fool an in
telligent audience unless you do the
trick with the most natural move
ments possible.
NEVER try to perform a trick with
out first practicing it. Always
practice an effect before a mirror. BY

BY THOMAS, MAGICIAN.
w YITH the possible exception
\A/ Of music, there is no form
wv of entertainment as old as
magic. It was known in
the days Of ancient Egypt. The Jew
ish Kings, it is said, always called
upon the soothsayers and magicians
to interpret dreams and visions, and
to foretell any events which might
throw an ominous cloud of trouble
over the kingdom. In fact, the Egyp-
tians are the first people Of whose
proficiency in the art of magic we
have any record.
The mystic art was also known to
the Chinese in the earliest periods
of their history, and, although 1t was
used throughout the Oriental empire
before records were kept, we have
no way of knowing what type Of
mysticism was employed.
The magician was once regarded
as q sorcerer and considered to be
a dangerous man, but magic increased
in popularity at an unusually rapid
pace, and today we find that its
charm Is more widely appreciated
than ever before. Consequently. since

EVERY year, more and more people
make the practice of magic their
hobby. We find grave judges, learned
professors, doctors, lawyers, ministers,
and even kings and princes capable of
diverting and mystifying their friends
with card. coin, cigar and cigarette
tricks. For example, the Prince OF
Wales Is famous as an amateur ma
gician. and a good one, too, according
to all reports.
Pages might be written to explain
why magic exercises such charm and
fascination. but nothing will convince
you so much as trying it yourself.
Learn to do one trick! Do it for your
friends! From that moment. you will
find that you have entered new field;
a world of popularity, world of en-
joyment.
My first bit of advice is TO practice
and maintain a professional attitude.
It is my object to teach YOU the road

THE FEAR OF WAR

THERE is pending in Congress a bill which
= would establish 10 great military avia-
ton posts. Each would be capable of ac-
commodating 1000 fighting planes, and each
would cost not more than $19,OOO0OO
There would be three bases on the west
coast, one in the Great Lakes region, one
near the Gulf of Mexico, two on the Atlantic
coast, one in the Rockies, and one each in
Alaska and Panama
This measure, it is said embodies an air
defense program submitted to the Federal
Aviation Commission last summer Some
members of the Army general staff are said
to approve it.
Odhand, one would suggest that such a
program should get the closest kind of pub
lie scrutiny Military preparedness on this
scale is something new as far as the United
States is concerned
Are we in such danger of war as to make
an elaborate and expensive aviation program
like this either necessary or desirable?

THE STUDENTS SPEAK

A DVOCATES of a more peaceful world will
L be encouraged no little by the first pub
liShed returns in The Literary Digests poll of
the nations university students on questions
of war and peace, and, in the summing up of
vote totals, Indiana's universities need not
hang their heads.
Students at Purdue, Indiana and De Paw
Universities, along with others, agreed, by
varying margins. but decidedly, that they
would not bear arms for this country in any
war of aggression. They agreed, too, that it
should be possible for the United States to
stay out of another great war.
This last may be wiShful thinking and their
commendable willingness to fight for their
country if its boundaries are crossed by an in
vadng foe may seem to some ultra ardent
pacifsts to conflict with their wise decision
not to fight in wars of aggression. Many
others will be disappointed that the League
of Nations did not seem desirable TO indiana
and Purdue students, though De Paw did
favor United States entrance into the League.
But, the general tone indicates that the
students from whose ranks will come the SOL
diers in any war in the next decade, are
thinking and thinking straight.
