A great deal of tho ventriloquist's success, however, depends on tho imagination of tho hearer. Hy means of skillful and apparently natural gestures tho attention of tho nudieneo is diwrted from tho ventriloquist himself to a point from which tho oico or bound is supposed to proceed. It is n fact that no 0110 of tho human benses Is ttioro easily deceived than that of hearing, becauso in listening to 60unds wo judge of their remoteness by com paring them to oilier bounds w lioso distances wo uro familiar with. Vontriloquiul analysis Is very hard. Tlio vontriloquiul ell'ect is produced !v tho intonation of tli vnim nn.i by obscuring tho consonantal sounds and re taining unaltered tho pitch mid dui.itlon.
