The Thimble and Ball

This is a variation of the well-known thimble and paper cone trick, the
effect of which is as follows: A small cork ball is shown and placed on
the table. This is covered with a small paper cone. A thimble is shown
and placed in the left hand. A change is commanded to take place.
Opening the hand the ball is seen and upon lifting up the cone the
thimble is found thereunder. The objects are then made to return to
their original positions.
The objects necessary for the success of the trick are two thimbles,
one of which nests within the other. Also two small cork balls about
the size of a pea. A small paper cone, just large enough to cover the
thimble, is also required. The rest is manipulation.
The thimbles are nested. One of the balls is placed within and the
whole thing is placed on the second finger. The cone is next shown
and demonstrated that it will fit over the thimble. When it is taken off,
the outer thimble is taken with it. The ball on the table is shown and
the supposedly empty cone placed over same. The cone should be
dropped over ball so the thimble will be released and thus cover same.
The left hand is now shown and the thimble
placed therein as shown in "A" of Fig. 1. The
left hand is closed over the thimble and the
finger of right hand withdrawn, leaving
thimble in left hand. The ball will then roll out
of thimble into left hand. The thimble is taken
out at top of left hand which is turned over as
in "B."
Showing the thimble on first finger of the right
hand, it is apparently shoved into closed left
hand, but really thumb palmed after the
fashion familiar to all conjurors.
After commanding the objects to change
places, the left hand is opened and shown to
contain the ball, while the right hand lifts up the cone and shows the
thimble.

Magical Notions--The Thimble and Ball

Call attention to the left hand being empty by pointing at same with
right hand. Then close left hand. Just at this moment the right hand
passes over same and drops the palmed thimble into same. Now drop
ball into top of hand and let it roll into thimble. Replace cone over
thimble on table. Command the objects to return to their former
positions.
Push second finger into left hand and into thimble with ball inside as
before opening the hand at the same time. Then lift up cone with left
hand, taking thimble with it, exposing the ball. Place cone over
thimble on finger, leaving the one inside there.
Readers are referred to the writer's "Modern Magical Effects" for
another method of placing the thimble from the right hand into the
left. By palming out the inner thimble and the ball, the duplicate ball,
cone and thimble may be examined. This little effect forms a dandy
pocket trick and is readily worked with a little practice.

The Robinson Coin Change

This clever coin change was originated by Mr. S. H. Robinson. In
effect, a coin (a half dollar), is wrapped in a small piece of paper, and
given to someone to hold. When the paper is unfolded, a quarter is
found in place of the half dollar, which is produced elsewhere.
Reference to Fig. 2 will make matters
clear. The fifty cent piece is held on the
paper as shown in "A 2." Directly under
the half dollar and on the other side of
the paper, the quarter is concealed,
being held by the first finger of the right
hand.
The paper is then taken by the left hand
as in "B," the edge being turned over.
The right hand slides the half dollar off
at the edge, taking the quarter with it
and holding quarter so it will be hidden
by the half. The right hand then places
the coin as shown in "B," the quarter
being allowed to drop under the fold
where the thumb of the left hand grips it.
This is all done while facing the audience. The paper is then turned
with the back to the audience, during which the right hand slightly
withdraws the half dollar and places it outside the fold, instead of
under. The other edge is then folded down as in "C."
The small bundle is then held at the tips of the right fingers, during
which the half dollar slides out of the paper and into the palm of the
hand. The left hand takes the paper and gives it to someone to hold.
The person is then requested to unfold the paper and of course finds
the quarter. The fifty cent piece may be reproduced from the pocket or
elbow of person holding paper.

The Wandering Coin and Ring

One of the cleverest combinations that could be arranged for the parlor
entertainer. A borrowed quarter is wrapped in a piece of paper. A
lady's ring is placed in a small box, which is then wrapped in a
handkerchief and given to the lady to hold. An egg is examined and
placed in a cup.
The performer then commands a change to take place. The coin
vanishes from the paper and is found in the box in place of the ring.
Upon breaking open the egg, the ring is found therein.
Two small pill boxes, the size of a half dollar and a half inch in depth
are required. One of the boxes, together with a rubber band, is placed
in the right outside coat pocket. The other box is placed on the table.
The egg cup has a removable lining, in the bottom of which is a small
piece of wax. This lining is in the right coat pocket with the pill box.
The egg cup rests on the table. A handkerchief is placed in the outside
coat pocket. A small square of paper and a quarter are the remaining
necessities. The quarter is palmed in the right hand.
To introduce the trick, the performer asks for a quarter. This he
receives with the right hand and turns to place it on the table, really
palming it and dropping the duplicate. It is best to have the borrowed
quarter marked in some way. Next he asks for the loan of a lady's
wedding ring. While some lady is removing the ring from her finger,
the performer places his hands in his coat pockets in a natural position,
opens the pill box and places the palmed quarter therein, after which
he replaces the cover. This is all done in a few seconds. The pill box
on the table is then given to the lady with the request that she place the
ring inside. This affords an opportunity to palm the box containing the
quarter. To hide same, the handkerchief is removed from the outside
pocket and held in the hand.
The box containing the ring is taken in the left hand, which at once
transfers it to the fingers of the right hand, the right hand spreading the
handkerchief over the palm of the left hand. The box containing the
ring is then supposedly wrapped in the handkerchief, but under cover
of same the exchange is made and the box with coin is wrapped in
handkerchief. The right hand, containing box with ring, then goes into

http://www.magic4you.co.uk/books/mgclntns/004.html (1 of 2) [6/2/2002 8:48:35 AM]

Magical Notions--The Wandering Coin and Ring

the right pocket for the rubber band, leaving box behind and placing
band around the handkerchief and box, which is given to lady to hold.
She shakes same to prove that ring is still there, the coin sounding just
like the ring.
The egg cup is then passed for examination, during which the ring is
removed from the box in Pocket and stuck in wax in lining of cup,
same being then palmed: Egg is next passed out and egg cup taken
back, opportunity being afforded to palm lining into same. This is
placed on the table.
The quarter is then wrapped in the paper, using the coin fold familiar
to all magicians. All that then remains is to tear up paper, palming the
coin. Lady finds coin in box which she thought contained the ring.
Ring is found in the egg. The beauty of this combination is that it is
done with the help of the audience.

Magical Notions--The Card and Watch

Magical Notions
Louis F. Christianer
Next | Previous | Contents

The Card and Watch

A gentleman's gold watch is borrowed. At the same time a card is
selected from the deck. The card is torn into small pieces and loaded
into a gun. Attention is called to a small black board in a gold frame
resting on the performer's table.
The performer then holds the borrowed watch in his hand, and the
pistol containing the card is given to a member of the audience. The
performer then requests the person to aim the pistol at the watch in his
hand. When the pistol is fired the watch in the performer's hand
changes into the selected card, while the borrowed watch suddenly
appears in the center of the frame on the table.

Reference to Fig. 3 will help make the trick clear. A plain gold watch
must be procured, one of the closed case variety, as shown in "A." The
cover is so arranged that when released by pressing the stem, a spring
pulls it out flat. A special card is then made to fold and go inside the
watch. This card will fold up small, but as soon as the cover is
released the card expands and covers the watch. Fig. "D" shows the
card folded lengthwise. It is again folded in the center from edge to
edge. A face card is best used. To help in the construction of this card
it is best to procure a folding card from a dealer in magical apparatus
and use it as an example.

Magical Notions--The Card and Watch

The frame as shown in "C" is merely a board with a trap, set in a neat
gold frame, Fig. "E" shows the principles of the trap. It revolves on
two pins in the center of top and bottom. "X" is a rubber band attached
to the trap and to the side of frame.
"Y" is a small catch to hold the trap in place. A piece of string is
attached to the catch and when pulled releases the trap. The board and
trap is covered with black velvet. To prepare for the trick, the watch is
placed on the trap in the center by means of a small pin. The trap is
then brought around the back and held at "y" by means of the catch.
The rubber of course stretches over the back and when catch is pulled,
trap flies around and watch appears in frame.
To work the trick, a duplicate of the card is first forced. This is torn up
and loaded into the pistol tube. A plain gold watch of closed case
variety is borrowed, and when performer goes back to stage it is an
easy matter to make the exchange. The wand is taken up from table,
during which action the borrowed watch is dropped behind some
object thereon. Assistant comes out and removes table to back center
of stage during which he procures the watch and taking it behind the
stage places it on hook on frame.
The performer is holding the attention of the audience during this time
by instructing the person to tear up card and he (performer) loads into
pistol tube.
Performer then holds prepared watch, presumably the borrowed one in
his hand with thumb on stem, and requests person to fire at same. As
soon as he fires, the stem of watch is pressed and cover springs down
and card unfolds, thus transferring watch to card. At the same time,
assistant pulls thread and watch appears in center of frame.
The card is verified and placed on table so watch behind same will
drop into well, while performer removes borrowed watch from the
frame.
The watch is then given to its owner with thanks. Performer can then
pick up a duplicate card and casually give to person holding gun,
when pistol is returned.
The use of the frame is an adaptation of The Demon Frame, which is
the origination of Mr. F. G. Thayer.

Magical Notions--The "Canar" Change Production

The "Canar" Change Production

This excellent production of a chosen card is the origination of Mr. H.
A. Canar, a very clever manipulator of cards, and with his permission
it is herewith described.
A card is selected, noted and returned to the deck. The performer
brings it to the top of the deck by means of the pass. It is then
necessary to get the card to the bottom of the deck with its face toward
the face of the bottom card. This is accomplished as follows: The deck
is held in the left hand with the thumb at one side and the fingers at the
other, the second and third being curled over the edge of the selected
card.
Then slightly draw the selected card over about a half inch, and with
the right hand lift up the deck, the left fingers still pressing on the
card. It will be found that the card will stand on edge on the fingers,
and the right hand can easily place deck on top of same so card will be
face up. Of course this move only takes a second and is entirely
hidden by the right hand, which is holding the deck all the time.
Then the deck is cut in about the center, the lower half resting on the
palm of the left hand. The upper portion is held in the right hand, with
the thumb at one end and the fingers at the other.
Attention is then called to the bottom card of the UPPER half, which
we will say is the six of hearts.
The left thumb then pushes the top card of the lower half over about
an inch. This card is then turned over so it will rest face up on the
lower half of the deck, by placing the upper half under its edge and
turning it over. This card we will say is the ace of spades.
The upper portion is then rested so it will cover only half of the lower
half. The first finger of the left hand then pushes the bottom card of
the lower half, or the card selected, over so the right hand can grip it
under cover of lifting up the top portion. The selected card is then held
at the bottom of the upper portion, but facing the six of hearts already
shown. A small break is retained between this card and the bottom
card of the upper half by the right thumb.
The change is accomplished by simply touching the ace of spades with

Magical Notions--The "Canar" Change Production

the upper half, leaving at the same time, the selected card on top of
same, thus causing the change. The upper half is at once turned over to
show that the six of hearts is still there.
This is really a brilliant change and should be studied with cards in
hands. After a little practice the moves will be understood and easily
worked.

Magical Notions--The Handkerchief and Orange

Magical Notions

Next | Previous | Contents

The Handkerchief and Orange

The tissue paper wrapper of an orange is removed, shown on both
sides, then crushed into a ball, from the center of which a red silk
handkerchief is produced.
The orange is then exhibited and placed in a glass. The handkerchief is
loaded into a pistol. The performer then shoots at the orange which is
cut open and the handkerchief produced from the center of same.
This clever little trick is woven around the original production of a
handkerchief of Mr. H. A. Canar's. It is first essential to obtain a
wrapper that has the brand stamped on same. Two wrappers are
required. The brand is carefully cut from one of them. The
handkerchief is carefully folded and placed over the stamp of the
whole wrapper. A little glue is placed around the edges and the cutout
brand is glued down. If a book is then placed on the prepared wrapper,
the handkerchief will be pressed flat and at a short distance away, it
cannot be detected.
A knife with a hollow handle is the only other piece of apparatus
required. This is readily procured from any dealer in magical
apparatus. Into the hollow handle a duplicate of the red handkerchief
is placed.
It is best to have the orange with the prepared wrapper in a small
basket with two or three oranges. To introduce the trick, the orange is
taken and the wrapper removed, and the orange may be tossed into the
audience for examination, while the wrapper is being shown.
The orange is then received from the audience and placed in a glass.
The wrapper is next crushed into a ball, the paper torn, and the
handkerchief produced. Toss the tissue paper to one side, and bring
forward the pistol which is fitted with the wellknown "pistol tube."
The handkerchief is pushed into the tube and the pistol fired at the
orange. The orange is then taken in the left hand and cut, not quite in
half, so the larger portion is in the hand. The knife is held between the
thumb and the orange, with blade down. The small portion of the
orange is placed on the table. The portion in the hand is turned slightly
to the performer, while the right forefinger is pushed into the orange,
the thumb and second finger at the same time, catching the small bead

attached to the silk in the knife, and pulling same out. From the
audience the silk appears to come from the orange.
The knife is purely a magical accessory and no originality is claimed
for same.

A Novel Production
A small Chinese basket, of the flat telescopic variety, is introduced
and proven to be empty. One half of it is then filled with confetti after
which it is covered with the other half of the basket. Three of four
handkerchiefs are then placed in a glass, The silks are commanded to
leave the glass and appear in the basket.
Upon uncovering the glass, it is found empty, while the handkerchiefs
are found in the basket in place of the confetti. The handkerchiefs are
removed from the basket, after which an endless amount of paper
ribbon is taken out, from the center of which is produced a number of
pigeons.
Reference to Fig. 4 will make
matters clear. The style basket
used is illustrated in "a." It may be
purchased from any dealer of
oriental goods, and costs about
twenty-five cents.
A tin fake as illustrated in "b" is
constructed to fit in the inner
compartment of the basket. The
fake has a removable top which is
easily removed. Some confetti is
glued on this top. First fill the fake
with duplicate handkerchiefs,
paper ribbon and other articles it
will be desired to produce. Then
place the fake upright in a box
containing the confetti.
A glass known as the Demon Glass can be procured at any dealers. It
has a celluloid insert and a cardboard cylinder cover. The table used
must have a servante at back, or a black art well.
To work the trick, first introduce the basket. Then fill the smaller
compartment with confetti by dipping same in the box. During this the
fake is slipped into the basket, and the confetti on top of same gives
the impression that the basket is full.

Magical Notions--A Novel Production

Slip the cover over the basket and place it against some object on the
table. Then show the glass: The celluloid being transparent, no one
detects the presence of the same. Place the handkerchiefs in the glass,
really in the insert. Then cover over with the cylinder. To cause silks
to vanish, simply grip insert between finger and cylinder and withdraw
from the glass while removing the cylinder. The insert with the silks is
then dropped into the servante or black art well, so as tO show the
cylinder empty.
Open the basket by gripping the cover of same tightly so as to remove
the top of the fake and thus cause the confetti to vanish. Produce the
handkerchiefs and follow up with the ribbons. It would make a fine
finish to have a bag loaded with doves or a duck at back of chair, or
flowers, to load into paper ribbon to produce.
This production will be found to be a novelty and a departure from the
well-known box and bag effects.

Magical Notions--The "L.C." Card Change

Magical Notions

Next | Previous | Contents

The "L. C." Card Change

A card is selected from the deck, noted, returned to the deck, which is
then shuffled. The performer then takes the top card of the deck and
shows same to the person who chose the card, asking if it is the one
noted. Upon told that it is not, the card is at once pushed through the
deck from one side to the other and then shown. It has changed to the
card selected.
The selected card is brought to the top of the deck by any means the
performer cares to use. The writer's method is to have the card
"glimpsed,"' using the flesh grip and palming card to the top of the
deck. This method is thoroughly explained in Down's "Art of Magic."
The deck is then held face down in the left hand. The right hand picks
up the two top cards, with the thumb at one end and the second finger
at the other. The end held by the top has a slight break between the
two cards. The cards may be slightly curved so as to conceal the fact
that there are two instead of one. Showing the card, which of course is
not the one selected, the performer turns the hand over so face of card
will be to deck. He then passes the hand back over the deck, during
which the bottom card or one already shown is dropped onto the top of
the deck.
The thumb of the left hand then makes a break in the deck, and
without exposing the card, it is pushed through the deck from side to
side, the right hand taking it as it emerges from the other side and
turning it over. Thus the change has been accomplished just by
pushing the card through the deck.

Magical Notions--A Watch Move

Next | Previous | Contents

A Watch Move
The performer removes his watch and fob from the vest pocket and
shows same. The watch and fob are then placed in the left hand so the
fob hangs out over the top of hand.
The watch is then commanded to vanish from the hand, which is at
once opened and shown empty.
The watch is taken from the coat pocket.
The illustration in Fig. 5 will make
matters clear. The secret lies in the
hook-swivel of the fob. This is shown in
Fig. "c." It is the ordinary swivel, but
spread open so as to allow the thumb to
slip it off the ring off the watch easily.
To begin the trick, the watch and fob are
taken from the vest pocket and held on
the right hand as shown in "a." The left
hand is then shown empty, and a move
made to put the watch into the left hand.
While the left hand is being shown
empty, the right thumb presses down on
the hook-swivel and slips it off the ring of
the watch, so when right hand pretends to
place watch in left, the fob only goes, the watch being palmed in right
hand. The left hand is at once closed and held as in "b."
The right hand rubs the back of the left hand and commands the watch
to vanish. Of course left hand is opened to show the watch gone.
Watch is then reproduced from the coat pocket or elsewhere as the
performer desires.
A good variation would be to have one of the old style coin purses in
the right trousers pocket, and which is held open by means of a small
piece of cork, as described in Hoffman's "Later Magic." The watch is
easily slipped into the purse when hand is placed in the trousers
pocket.
The purse is then taken from the pocket, presumably to show that the

opened, discloses the watch.

The Flying Coin

An English penny and an American fifty cent piece are shown. The
penny is placed in the left hand, which is then closed. The half dollar
is held in the right hand. The right hand gives a toss toward the left
hand. A clink is heard and left hand is opened, showing the fifty cent
piece with the penny. The right hand is opened and found empty.
Two fifty cent pieces and one penny are needed. The penny and one
half dollar are exhibited in the palm of the left hand. The second fifty
cent piece is palmed in the right hand. The right hand then reaches for
the fifty cent piece in the left hand, during which the palmed half
dollar is dropped into the left sleeve.
The penny is shown in the left hand, where it is gripped in the palm,
so that when the hand is dropped to the side, the half dollar in the
sleeve will drop to the curled fingers without striking the penny.
The half dollar is shown in the right hand, which then gives a sort of
toss towards the left hand. The coin is palmed, and at the same time
the penny is released from the palm and drops onto the half dollar
therein, thus making the clink. The right hand pulls up the left sleeve,
and at same time drops palmed coin into outside coat pocket.
The left hand is opened and the penny and half dollar shown. The right
hand can of course be shown empty also. This is a clever little move
and much appreciated at close range.

The Flying Glove

While there is nothing startling, as far as originality is concerned, in
this trick, it is one that always creates a great deal of amusement, and
with which the author has always had considerable success.
To begin the trick, a lady's glove is borrowed. When about to use it in
the trick, the performer discovers a small handkerchief inside of same.
This causes him to look further and in one of the fingers a bit of lace is
found, and in another, a small length of ribbon. In his endeavors to see
if there is anything else in the fingers, the glove is accidentally torn,
much to the performer's regret.
Remarking that the lady will no doubt have greater use for the article
than he, the performer wraps the glove, ribbon and lace in a piece of
paper and hands to owner of the glove. When she unwraps same, a
bouquet of violets is found, the glove and ribbons having vanished.
Attention is then called to a small frame resting on the performer's
table. Taking his pistol he fires at the frame and the glove appears in
center of same, completely restored. It is removed and given to the
lady with thanks.
Very little explanation will be required by readers of this effect. The
borrowed glove is, of course, exchanged for one prepared with
handkerchief, ribbon and lace. A suede glove is the best to use, or a
white one. Performer must, of course, ask for a white glove, but this is
easily obtained.
Fold the prepared glove up small and place under vest. A small
.bouquet of violets is placed under a sheet of paper which is placed on
the table, resting near rear edge of same, near servante or black art
well.
The principle of the frame will be readily recognized. It is merely a
black frame about six inches wide and eight inches in length. It rests
on a base which stands about four inches up from table top. There is a
spring blind over front of same, held at the bottom by a catch to which
is attached a length of thread. This frame is very much like that used
to cause a broken plate to appear when pieces are supposed to be shot
at same. See Hoffman's "Modern Magic."

Magical Notions--The Flying Glove

The performer asks for loan of white glove and goes into audience
after same, carrying his wand with him. While standing in audience he
folds it up, stating he will cause it to vanish. He then goes back to
stage, during which journey he has ample opportunity to get glove
from vest, and hide borrowed one in hand with wand. This is placed
on table, and while performer is talking, assistant takes wand, glove,
and other articles from same, and places glove in frame which he later
brings out and rests on table to back of stage.
Performer then pretends to find articles in glove, from which much
comedy can be obtained. Then he rolls up glove, ribbon and the like
and pretends to wrap in paper. Glove is really dropped in scrvante and
bouquet wrapped up and given to lady.
After lady finds bouquet performer offers his excuse and fires at
frame. Assistant pulls the thread and glove appears.
As before stated only the arrangement is considered original, but
suffice it to say, that this is an effect capable of much variation and
one that is always a success.
