Must Be Quick and Be Prepared to Ucceivc The art of conjuring is to puzzle peo ple With nothing more expensive than a cent a dime or a quarter and a liuie art in the cutting and boriug of metal the amateur will find that some very effective tricks are within his power The conjurer may flaunt a coin before the eyes of the company and then like a flash of lightning cause it to disap pear and show both of his hands empty Then the coin will suddenly reappear between the tips of the conjurers fin gers The coin has two little holes bored through it and a piece of silk is looped through these When commanding the coin to disappear the performer slips the loop of silk- over his thumb and keeping the front of his hand toward the audience allows the coin to quickly drop between his fingers and rest on the back of his hand When he wishes it to reappear he pulls the silk and pres to it is again between his finger tips The wonderful elec rifled coin is easily made and is warranted to cause some fun The conjurer throws it in the air Behold he cries it will al ways return to me See how affection ate it is The coin falling touches the lapel of his coat and remains there THE MAGIC PEXXIES This is not surprising since about a quarter of an inch of a pin projects from each side of it The six magic pennies pass through a table or appear to do so As a prelimi nary tep the conjurer takes six pen nies of his own and fastens them to gether by running a rivet through them He then obtains a little cap that will fit neatly over the coins Having done this he proceeds to borrow six cents from the audience which he places un observed in his left hand In his right hand he holds his prepared pennies so that all may see them These he places on the table and covering them with the cap commands them to drop through to the other side After a mo ment he withdraws the cap and inci dentally with the cap the pennies an easy enough matter as they are joined together and it is seen that they are no longer on the table He puts his left hand under the table and apparently catches the cents as drop through into his palm He returns them to the audience who find that diey are unaf fected by their journey through the deal board To be able to throw half a dozen coins through a silk hat in such a way that they will clearly be heard to drop on the inside leaving however no trace be hind them is a trick of which any one might be proud The conjurer borrows a hat conceals six cents in his left hand and shows six cents in his right He then picks up the hat in his left THE VAXISIIIXG CEXT liana and holds the cents at the same time in such a way that he may easily drop them in when required Taking a coin from his right hand he shows it to the audience and pretends to throw it at the hat A click of a coin dropping on the inside is heard and on examination a coin will be found in -e hat As a matter of fact however no penny left the conjurers right hand He merely put it through the process known as palming and at the same time allowed a penny to drop from his left hand A very effective addition may be made to the trick in this way A penny is fastened in a lathe and a little groove is cut round its edge It is then divided into two pieces one being a little larger than the other and these are joined loosely together by a small elastic band which is placed in the groove A needle is brazed into the larger portion of the penny at right angles to the edge a re cess being cut into the smaller portion to accommodate it Having made this penny or bought it the conjurer when performing his trick of throwing the pennies through a hat takes the trick penny in his right hand and bending back one half swiftly in- i serts the needle in the hat This gives it the appearance of having passed half way through it looks in tact as though THE HAT TIUK the conjurer had noc thrown it hcd enough Ho apologizes draws out the tricv penny and pretends to throw it again this time allowing a penny from his left hand to drop into the hat A penny thut will pass through the narrow neck of a bottle is made in the same waj It is divided into three pieces which are held together by elas tic It is folded up and put into the bottle and so soon as it has passed the neck the sides spring out and make it look like an ordinary penny Granted a small amount of stiill in II 1 I It III il iijuw - fin

only beef and bread dried in the oven and drinking all the hot water she could I have seen her in the office where she is employed walk along with a glass filled with water steaming hot The Salisbury
