When he touches the Shadow of the Pigeon in the Looking-Glaſs, it begins to flutter with its Wings. When he thurſts at its Shadow in the Looking-Glaſs, there comes Blood out of the Pigeon. He gives two Cuts on the Shadow in the Looking-Glaſs, and at the third Cut the Body of the Pigeon falls into a Dih, and its Head remains gaping and hanging at the Garter.

VIII. One of the Speſtators may think of, or draw a Card out of a Pack, which Card he will make to walk on a Table, leap, and fly away; and the Artiſt at the Command of the Speſtators, will cauſe the very fame Card to come into the Pack again.

XV. If a Gentleman will draw out of a Pack of Cards 5, 9, 13, or any 20 Cards, or as many as he pleafes, they will diſappear out of his Hands, and ſhall be found in an Egg examined before.
