21

A new third-finger steal for the thimble vanish, with a feint move and a comedy routine where the thimble appears to be removed from inside the performer's ear.

22

A borrowed handkerchief is torn to pieces, transformed into a long strip, burned to ashes in a series of comic mishaps, and finally found fully restored inside a lemon.

22

A comedy archery act; arrows fitted with invisible extending wire appear to slice paper strips from an assistant's hand at full stage distance.

23

Essay arguing for the continued use of the wand — its psychological resonance, practical value for covering palms, and the authority and purpose it gives the performer.

23

A ball is apparently tossed into the air; it lands invisibly in a glass held by the performer, confirmed by the audible rattle when the glass is shaken.

23

Short effects and tips from R.M. Jamison — a paper cut-and-restore, a salt trick, an orientally-decorated prop idea, and a card stab method.

23

A colored comic strip prepared with rubber cement is torn at the center fold and apparently restored twice, each time trimmed with scissors and shown in one piece.

24

Salt poured into the left fist vanishes when a silk is jerked away; the performer's closed fist is then opened to reveal it has become invisible "pepper."

24

An empty orientally-decorated tubular salt shaker is carried in the pocket and produced as a charming "mystic restoring powder" prop in place of hackneyed wooffle-dust patter.

24

A prepared packet with a pre-cut slit is secretly added to the deck; a penknife driven through pierces only the chosen card, which is revealed on the blade's point.
