BAMBOO
Three tubes of bamboo are shown to be
empty- A red silk is placed in one and the
tubes are moved around on the table as in
the shell and pea game. The audience tries
to guess the position of the tube with the
silk but is unable to do so. Finally, one
tube is discarded. The other two tubes are
rearranged, but the audience still fails,
and ti.e silk is fo jnd in the discarded
tube.
Secret: A Thumbtip is used with a piece if
red silk fastened in it with adhesive tape.
The tip also has a small piece of tin fast-
ened on the front. This projects and keeps
the tip from sinking in the tube. In this
way, a silk can be shown in any of the
three tubes. After the first try, the aud-
ience is following the '/rong tube. At the
end, t e tube [Link] the silk is discarded
and the two really empty tubes used. The
silk is then found in the discarded tube.

PENET.^ATION E'iCAPE
A piece of glass in a frame is shown
and two cards are placed on the glass, one
on either side. A pencil is passed thru the
glass and the cards. The glass is now placed
in a small stand with two posts on either
side of the glass. Holes in the posts co-
incide with the hole in the glass. A ribbon
is passed thru the glass and the posts. The
edds are held and the glass is pulled thru
the riobon. Cards are removed and there is
no hole in the glass.
Secret: The glass in the "Penetrahle Gla
and the frame works on the same principle
the Block and Frame. A thread pulls the
ribbon around the bottom of the frame and
glass.

DIE BOX ADDITION
In doing the regular routine with the
Die Box, this addition aids the effect. A
tube and two blocks the size of tne die ar
used. One block is red and the other is
yellow. The blocks are tne same size as th
die. Inside the tube is a shell painted to
represent the two blocks with a die betwee
them. The two blocks are pu
on top of one another and
covered with the tube. Afte:
the die has vanished from t
box, it apparently appears

means of tne double door.
The die then passes into the
hat as in the regular routir
PASSE CIGARETTES AND MATCHES
On one side of a table is a pack of
Cigarettes and on the other side is a
box of l^atches. Two covers (tubes) are
shown and put over the cigarettes and
matches. On lifting the tubes, the matches
and cigarettes have changed places. After
covering them once more, they pass back to
the orifiinal positions.
Secret: The two boxes of penny matches
are plain. Both packs of cigarettes are
faked. The covers of two packs of the same
kind of cigarettes are pasted over cardboard
tubes which will nest. The tubes are plain.
At the beginning, on one side oi a box
of matches and over it the two nested packs.
The covers are shown empty and put over eaoh
pf the packs and matches. When the cover is
removed from tne pack, the outside loack istake
with it leaving th.e inside oack. Now put
[Link] over the matches. From now on, the
same routine is used as with the Bottle and
glass. The inside pack may be weighted so that
it will not stick inside the larger pack.

tied in a row. They are placed in a Silk
Cabby with the center silk in the cabby
and the end silks hanging out the ends.
ihe vi sable silks are pulled out and the
center silk has vanished.
Method: In the gimac beforehand is a
red silk. The three silks, red, yellow
and purple are tied with a slip kno*
between the yellow and purple. The silks

After the red is entirely out of sight,
the duplicate red is pulled out of the giini
part way. After the yellow is entirely in
the gimac, the knot is slipped and the

EVERY¥JHERE AND N0V>/HER1
On a stand is a holder for three ^
houlettes. Each houlette has a hole in the
center about an inch and a half in dia-
meter. A deck of cards is shuffled and
one selected. It is the Queen of Clubs,
(forced). The card is put back into the
deck and the deck is shuffled. The per-
former now looks thru the deck and picks
out three cards. They are placed in the
houlettes, back to the audience. One card
or houlette is selected by the audience
and the selected card is in that houlette.
In fact, they are shown to be all the
same card. Finally, two cards change to
indifferent cards.
Method: In each houlette is a duplicati
of the force card with the center cut out
so that the houlette appears empty. The
three cards removed from the deck are ,
all face cards. The audience chooses the
houlette and each card in turn is the
selected one. At the end, the two indif-
ferent cards appear from the duplicate
chosen cards. The stand is that used for
"Find the Lady".

DART PREDICTION
The magician borrows a business card
and writes a prediction on it. The card is
placed in a small holder so that it can be
seen at all times. Next a wheel with several
colors is spun and a dart is thrown at the
wheel. When the wheel stops and the color
in which the dart landed is seen, the card
is removed and given to a spectator. On
the card is written the same color as
that on thw wheel which was selected by
the dart. This can also be worked with
numbers on the wheel.
luethod
: The dart and wheel are not
prepared in any way- The whole secret is
a thumbnail pencil. On the card is written
the prediction," You will hit the ".
After trie color or number is seen, the
color or number is filled in with the
pencil.

THOUGHT PHOTOGRAPHY
Take a deck of cards out of the case
and in the case place a blank Davenport
card silk. The deck is now shuffled and a
card selected. The spectator who selected
it pictures it and upon removing the silk
from the case, the picture of the card
is on it.
Method: For this, you will need a set
of card silks, a deck of plain cards and
a card box that has been prepared as in the
drawing. The box will be seen to be pre-
pared so that it will open on
either end, and each side is
the same. In one side of the
box is the silk with the spots
and in the other side is the
deck "oushed in half way. The
card to be forced is on top.

Method: Only one silk is used, -he
giraac is a large thumbtip. This will hold
a thirteen inch silk.
SILK AND COIL PRODUCTION
(Petree)
The magician shows a piece of paper
on both sides. The paper is rolled dnto
a tube and a rubber band placed around
it. Reaching inside , several silks are
disooYered. Finally, some paper ribbon
is pulled out of the tube. This continues
to come out until there is a large pile
of it on the stage.

of several serpentine coils. The end of
one coil is fastened to the inside of the
next. Inside the coils, a number of silk
handkerchiefs are put.
Pick up the paper and show it to be
unprepared. Lay it down over the load and
show the rubber bands. Pick up the paper
and the load as in the Dye Tube. Put the
bands around the paper. Production is now
made.

something from the mass of paper such as
a rabbit etc.

The perfoirmer starts by picking up a
giant golf score card. This is shown on
all sides. From it, a "Green" flag is pro-
duced by means of the extra finger- The
flag is now rolled between the hands and it
changes to a golf ball. The ball is taken
in one hand and vanishes appearing from
the elbow. Any number of manipulative moves
may be performed. Finally, the bell vanishes

deck and secretly brought to the top. The
deck is then shuffled. Now divide the deck
into four piles of 13 cards each. As the
cards are dealt out, they will be reversed
and the selected card will be ar the borrora
of one of the piles. Square up the piles
and glimpse the selected card. Now start
to spell. All that is necessary to know is
the suit. Spell as follows:

PIPE AM) TOBACCO POUCH
A small cloth bag representing a
tobaeoo pouch is opened and a pipe is
removed. The pipe is placed in the pouch
and taken out quickly with a motion toward
the pocket. A spectator looks in the
pocket but finds only a corncob pipe.
The real one has vanished. Finally, the
effect is explained with a sucke r finish.
This is merely an egg bag routine vdth
a bag made in the form of a tobacco pouch
and a pipe used instead of an egg. A
corncob pipe is used in the pocket in
place of the lemon sometimes used in
the egg bag routine.
The bowl is now taken off the corn-
cob and placed on one finger, Now do
the regular thimble manipulations with
the pipe bowl and finish v ith eight bowls,
one on each finger.

shake and the clock has vanished. The door
of the pagoda is opened, and there is the
missing clock.

SOLID THRU SOLID KNOT
For this effect, tv/o silks at least
eighteen inches square are needed. Twist
the silks ropewise and lay one across the
other. Now with the lower silk, tie a
fade out knot. After the knot has been
tied, reverse the ends so that actually,
they are on the other side of the silk.
Now is the silks are pulled, they will
apparently pass thru one another and
sill be solid.
