To perform the feat the operator spreads the handkerchief already produced over his thigh, and through the outer edge of it nips the bead or loop protruding from one or other of the pockets. When he raises the visible handkerchief the other is drawn out of the pocket, and hangs down behind it.. He rolls them rapidly together, and again unfolds them, when the one is found to have become two. A repetition of the process produces the third handker- chief In like manner. The same effect may be secured. by the simpler expedient of rolling up the two ex- tra handkerchiefs into a neat ball and “vesting” them (Le., tucking them under the lower edge of the vest), one on each side just below the vest pocket. (Professional performers frequently have a band of broad elastic sewn round the edge of the vest, that it may the better re- tain needful objects, but for so iight a mat- ter as a hardkerchief this ts not neces- sary.) In the rolling of the ball placed on the left side a little extra care must be taken, as it has to remain concealed in the hand during the first stage of the trick, and must not, therefore, unfold it- self prematurely. The ball having been rolled tight, a small black pin thrust into its center through the corner last folded down will make all secure. This duly arranged beforehand, the per- former in the course of his patter, takes the handkerchief by two of its corners and lets it hang down before him, remark- ing that it is a pretty little handkerchief and that he should like to make one or two more. As each corner is only taken be- tween the forefinger and thumb of the hand, the other fingers remain free, and curling under the edge of the vest they get Figure I. the two little balls, one in each hand. The handkerchief is rolled together, and when again unfolded that In the right hand ts unfolded with it. The handkerchief has now become two. These are rolled to- gether, and the third handkerchief pro- duced. If the feat is deftly performed the {illusion is complete. Into 2 Billiard Ball. The secret of changing a handkerchief into a billiard ball Hes mainly in the billiard ball, which is holiow, with an opening about an inch in diameter, or a little more, in one of its sides. This ball, placed beforehand in a conventent pocket, is se- cretly got into the left hand, and the hand- kerchief laid over it, with its center just over the opening of the ball. A circular rubbing movement of the opposite hand upon this part of the handkerchief causes {t to work itself gradually into the ball, the center goirg in first, and the corners being the last to disappear. When the last corner has found its way inside, the hands are opened, and the ball is exhibited in the right hand, the opening being next the palm, and therefore invisible. To Vanish a Billiard Ball. A solid billiard ball may be used for the Purpose of another very effective trick. ‘The additional apparatus consists (see Fig. 2) of a clear glass shell exactly covering half the ball, and a tumbler, with or without a foot, but of such a size and shape as to accommodate the ball comfertably in its lower portion. The performer explains to Figure I. t company that this ball, though appar. ently solid, is not so in reality, bemg ir tact merely a silk handkerchief materialized into that form. To show how unsubstan- Ual it really is, he proposes to place it in a glass of water, when it will be found to disappear. He fills the glass two-thirds full accordingly, and leaves it standing on the table. As it will be necessary to cover it for a moment, he asks the loan of a lady’s handkerchief. While this is being procured, he takes the opportunity to slip the glasa shell (which may be “vested,” as already described) over the ball. ‘The shell, being transparent, shcws the color of the ball through it, and is not noticeable at a very short distance. When the handker- chief is handed to him he throws it over tke ball, which must have the shell upper- most, and then, with the opposite hand, takes hold of (apparently) the ball through the handkerchief. As a matter of fact, however, he lifts the glass shell only with- in the hatdkerchief, the ball itself re- maining, unknown to the spectators, in the hand which first held it, ard being dropped into a packet at the first opportunity. Meanwhile, the handkerchief drapes itself round the glass shell, looking exactly to the eye as if the ball was still beneath it. Holding it in this fashion, the performer brings the handkerchief ‘over the glass and drops the supposed ball into the water. All, as they believe, hear it fall in, but what really falls in is of course merely the glass shell, which, as soon as {t reaches the bottom, turns over, and adapts tts own convexity to the concavity of the tumbler. In this condition it is quite Invisible, be- ing dieguised by the pattern on the tum- bler. The handkerchief being now removed the ball is found to have vanished. To Change Its Color. Taking up one of the red silk handker- chiefs previously produced, the performer remarks that for his part he prefers green, and that he will try whether he car: change it to that color. Taking it by one corner between his hands, the remainder hangiig down over his fingers, he waves the hand- kercnief about, gradually drawing up the slack into his hands from above. Siml- taneously, however, the fabric reappears hanging down beneath the hands, but it has changed color, being now a lively green. The hands are opened and found ctkerwise empty. The trick is effected by the aid of a spe- piece of apparatus, of etal consisting of a tube thin brass, jJapanned black, two inches in length and one and a quarter in diameter (see Fig. 3). It is open at each erd, and is pivoted at the center between the aris of a wire fork, so that either end can b2 turned outward at pleasure. In- s‘de this is fitted a little black silk bag of the same diameter as the tube, but only half its depth. The edges of this bag are attached to the center of the tube, so that its closed end can be pushed to elther end of the tube at pleasure. The fork “a” is attached to a pieca of ‘eiastic cord of such a length that when the opposite end is looped over the per- former's hinder trouser button on the right side, the tube can just be brought out (but no more) through the left armhole of the vest. In order that it may be readily and secretly get-at-able when required, an ordinary dress hook should be sewn point downward to the lower edge of the vest on the left side, just where the cloth front joins the cotton back. The tube being drawn down and the cord slipped under the heok the “fake” is instantly get-at-able, while the downward pressure at once re- leases it, and leaves it free (but for the pull of the elastic in the hand that grasps it. It is prepared for the trick by pushing @ green silk handkerchief into one end, which we will call “‘b” of the tube, thereby forcing the little bag to. the op- posite end, which we will call “c." he tube 1s then reversed so that the end is outermost, and lastly the cord is hitched urder the little hook. When he desires to show the trick the rerformer, as he picks up the visible hand- Kigure I. prehief from the table with his right nd, gets the tube into the other hand. Then, standing with his left side to the spectatcrs, in which position the elastic is idden from view by the arm, he begins to werk the visible handkerchief into the end “ce” of the tube. This forces out the green one from the opposite end, changing, ap- parently, the one into the other. When the red handkerchief is fairly housed and the green one fuily produced, he makes a slight forward movement of the hancs and at the seme time releases the tube, which i stantly files, drawn by the elastic, under the coat and up to the armpit. To Vanish Silk Handkerchief. It is obvious that the apparatus last de- cribed, when not used for the color-chang- g trick, will be equally available to “van- ish” a bandkerchief—the only difference being that the seccnd handkerchief will not be used. There are, however, simpler con- trivances for this purpose. Among the best is a hollow ball of metal or celluloid, wi a hole in one side (Fig. 4), after the fash- ion of the billiard ball already described, but only half its size, and with an addition in the shape of a loop of fine gut or silk thread, of such a size as to go freely o the first finger end allow the ball to hang either inside or outside of the hand. When the performer proposes to ‘“‘van- ish” the handkerchief the ball is, at star inside the hand. With the same hand ack toward the spectators) he picas up the handkerchief, and then bringing the hands together he waves them up and gown, end under cover of this movement works the handkerchief into the ball. When it is fairly in (having meanwhile turned round so as to face in the opposite direction), 2 tosses the ball over to the back of the hand, and opens both hand which are seen to'be empty. This appar: is is equally avaiable to produce a hand- kerchief. Figure Iv. a IN THE CHURCHES Rev. J. E. Gilbert, the secretary of the American Society of Religious Education, which has its headquarters in this city, last week talked to the Ministerial Union of Baltimore.
