MAGIC TRAPS FOR HORIZONTAL AND PERPENDICULAR APPEARANCES.
One of the latest works on legerdemain, purporting of course to be
written by a professional, but as usual merely relating antiquated
tricks of the simplest nature, and therefore so unlike this series of
papers, where hardly an illusion of the latest contrivance is not
laid bare,— bis work, we repeat, deplores the deficiency in magic
tables of a trap for objects to be made to appear through a table by
simple means at the beck of the performer. The readers of "The Secret
Out" and its sequels will remember the ample descriptions of several
such devices.
We now add a few more to the list.
