HEN a card trick--or any other W trick---iilustrates a little story it has two things very much fn its favor. In the first place it is much easier for the performer to re member what comes next. In the second place it provides a logical and if properly told, interesting explans tion to all the various movements in the trick itself. You will need the four four deuces, the four treys and «| four fours. Deal the four aves, face up on thie table, in a Tell your frictids that these represent four members of Family Number 1—all living in diffci ent cities. In each of these cities, )ou explain, also lives a mémber of lum- ily Number ? Turn the aces face aces, the row, down aad deal on caeh, face down, 4 dence Show euch deuce before you deal it. In the same manner and with the same explanation deal a trey fuce down on each deuce and a foul fuce down on each trey. (iather the four little one heap (taking care not mix them), and your story: “Kach year, in each vity, there was t family reunion, Cusiously enough they were held at the same time.” Deal the cards one at a time inte Turn the heaps over to w othe “reunion.’’ The aces should be all in one heap, all of the denees in another and so on. There isn't any. Just heaps into that you do continue with fonr heaps. The secret? ro abead and do Judgirg Distance. SE three half dollars for this | trick. Put them in a row on the table, with their cireum- ferences touching, a8 in the diagram.

The problem is this: Pick up any coin, pass it over two coins and put it on another coin. Pick up any other coin, pass it over two coins and put it on «another Continue until the ten coins are gath- ered into heaps of twos. The diffi- culty is of course to make the prob- lem ‘come out right.’’ Fach coin ust, in each case, pass over not less or more than two coins, Here is one way to do it: Pick up coin No, 4 and put it on coin No. 1.
