. I nostri giovani [serial]. Re sono un certo numero di trucchi elettrici, ma in tutti di loro una rete elettro-mag è il potere movente; tra i migliori di loro sono il Crystal Casket, il meraviglioso Orologio, la campana obbediente, il fuoco-braccio di brevetto, e theelectric Tripod. Quest'ultimo, credo, è esposto solo da un mago, signor Wiseman, – ed è stato, a quanto mi risulta, fatto dai signori Chester, teelettrici e telegrafici produttori di strumenti, di New York, da disegni da lui fur-nished. Il seguente piccolo trucco di carta, anche se estremamente semplice, ha un aspetto molto mys-terious e, quando mostrato prima di un circ

. Our young folks [serial]. re are a number of electrical tricks, but in all of them an electro-mag-net is the motive power ; amongst the best of them are The Crystal Casket, The Wonderful Clock, The Obedient Bell, The Patent Fire-arm, and TheElectrical Tripod. This last, I believe, is only exhibited by one magician, —Mr. Wiseman, — and was, I understand, made by the Messrs. Chester, theelectrical and telegraph instrument-makers, of New York, from designs fur-nished by him. The following little card trick, though extremely simple, has a very mys-terious appearance, and, when shown before a circle of friends, will at onceestablish the performers reputation as a great prestidigitateur. Let a person draw a card from the pack, and, when he replaces it, manageto keep your eye on it, or, what is still better, get the little finger of your righthand on it. Now shuffle the cards well, but all the time keep in sight (orkeep your finger on) the one that was drawn. Now take a number of cards 1868.] Lessons in Magic. 613. from the pack, and amongst them the one that was drawn, and lay them out infour rows, four in a row, with their backs up. In one of these rows you place thecard that was drawn. I annex an illustration, showing the manner in which thecards are laid. I will suppose that No. 6 is the one thatwas drawn. Request the person who drew it to choosefour cards. If he chooses the bottom row, you pick itup. Ask him to choose four more, and four more, andso on until there remains but the row in which thedrawn card is. Now ask him to choose two from thosefour. If he says seven and five, you take those up.There are now but two remaining; Choose one of thesetwo, if you please. Say that he chooses No. 6, whichis the one he drew ; in that case you pick up No. 7, saying, You havechosen the other, so we will dispense with this : now what was the cardyou drew? And, when he has answered, you blow mysteriously on theremaining card (which is his), and, turning it over, you show him
