i
hold them above your left hand. Lower the rings between
your left index finger and thumb and continue pulling
them straight down.
This will automatically pull down a loop of the rope as in
fig. I I . Continue pulling until the ends of the rope are puE
led close to the left hand. At this point, stop, remove the
rings. and replace the rope in its original position over
the left hand (fig. 10). But, now you show how this can be
done. Be sure the end of the rope closest to your body is
slightly higher than the other end. Raise the rings above
your left hand as before, but before you lower them, remove
your left thumb from under the loop. Just pull it back as you
lower the rings in the same manner as before. A s the rings
cross your left palm, replace your thumb under the loop of
rope as it was before (fig. 12). Continue pulling the rings
slowly downward until the ends of the rope are pulled close
to left hand. At this point grab the ends of rope with your FIG. 12
left hand and with your right h a d yank a couple of times
on the rings to show they have linked themselves onto the
center of the rope.

hand again on top of the rope as they were in fig. 5. Now
turn left hand around so that spectators see your view,

and then grasp end B in the right hand and place it through
the ring from the front (fig. 8) and let it hang. Now slowly

approach your left hand. grip the ends of the rope and with
your right hand yank a couple of times on the rings. They
will appear to both be on the rope when in reality one of
them is free. Raise your right hand and lower your left.
Then let go of the rope with your left hand and grasp the
two rings. The right hand releases its hold and grasps only
the ring that is closest to your body. Pull the ring straight
down along the rear of the rope and about half way down,
pull the ring to the right. It appears to come right off the
rope-

and clip the rope below the ring between the fourth and lit-
tle fingers (fig. 16). The left hand folds the ring back over
the right wrist (fig. 17). The left thumb is inserted in loop
between ring and little finger of right hand and pulls the rope
down and to the left. This action pulls end A out of the ring
and into the left hand (fig. 18). With both hands, tie the two
ends of the rope in a square knot leaving about 2" of each
end protruding from the knot. Pull the looped rope around
until the knot is at the side of the loop. Now take hold of
the ring that is over your arm with your left hand and pull
it down to your wrist whereupon you take hold of both
rings together and pull them off your right wrist. The right
habd continues to hold onto the rope. Display the two rings
linked on the rope, then let go of the rings and twirl the rope
around in a circle in front of your body. As the rings swing
around in a complete circle, grab them with your left hand.
Hold the rings parallel to the floor and drop the loop of
rope through from the top. This action will free one of the
rings. Take the rings in the right hand perpendicular to
the floor and with the left hand grab the bottom of the
loop of rope and lift it up taut above the rings. With the
right hand let go of the linked ring and pull the unlinked
one free.

6. Ring and Rope Release

Let the two rings slide down the rope into the left hand
which releases its end of the rope and lifts the two rings
up to the position in f& 15. (The only difference is that
you are holding two rings instead of one.) Lower the right
hand outside the ring and clip the rope below the ring back
between the fourth and little fingers (fig. 16). T h e left hand
folds the two rings back over the right wrist (fig. 17). The
left thumb is inserted in loop between ring and little finger
of right hand and pulls the rope down and to the I&. This
action pulls end A out of the rings and into the left hand
(fig 18). Thread end A through the rings from the back
towards the audience (fig 19) and tie the two ends of the
rope together. The rings arc apparently linked on the rope
loop (fig 20). Reach down with your left hand and twist
together several times the two strands of rope that are

hanging down. Then with the left hand reach up and grasp
both rings above your right wrist. Holding on to the rope
with your thumb and index finger of the right hand, let go
with your little finger and with your left hand pull the two
rings forward over your right hand and off your arm. When
the rings are off of your arm stop your left hand and raise
your right hand straight up above the left until the rope
becomes taut. Don't pull hard. Let go of the rings with your
left hand and if the rope was twisted properly, you can let
the rings hang gently from the loop as if they were knotted
on. Re-grasp the rings with the left hand and pull them both
downward. If you jiggle the rope slightly, the rings will
pull free of the loop. Let the rings slide over the left arm
snd hold the loop of rope in your left hand with the knot
at the bottom.
 7. Instantaneous Rings Knotted O n Rope (Wagner)
Hold the knotted rope loop in your left hand with the
knot at the bottom and the two rings hanging on your left
wrist. Your right hand reaches through the rope loop with
the palm upward and grabs the two rings. With the palm

the loop of rope. Pull downward to the right at an angle of
about 45" with the floor. If you pull with a quick jerk as
the rings come off of your left hand the rings will be t r a p
ped in a tag tie at the knot o n the bottom of the rope loop.
It will appear a s if they w e n instantaneously knotted t o
the rope.

A PIECE OF SCDnCI TAPE AND W A N K HIM FoR HELPING.
 EFFECT: A silk handkerchief is poked into a wine bottle
and the cork is pounded into the neck. The bottle is held in
an inverted position and the magician plucks the silk hand-
kerchief right through the bottom of the bottle. The cork
is removed and the bottle may be passed for examination.
It is unfeked.

PROPS: Procure a green wine bottle that has a round bot-

tom, the type that is sold in a straw basket. Actually any
bottle will do, but the rounded shape and green tinge of
this Italian bottle add to the mysterious atmosphere of the
effect.
Two corks large enough to extend about %" out of the
bottle when inserted in the mouth. Prepare one of the corks
by cutting a back door in it with a razor blade. The cork
should look normal from the front and sides, and when
placed in the mouth of the bottle the hole should be exposed
about H" above the bottle top.
A twelve inch yellow silk is prepared by attaching a
black nylon thread to one comer. At the other end of the
thread a loop is tied firmly about two inches in diameter.
When the silk is poked through the neck of the bottle and
is resting inside on the bottom of the bottle, the thread
should be long enough to pass up through the neck, over
the top and hang down on the outside with the bop about
three inches below the bottom of the bottle. A dassful of
glitter, a glass and a small funnel complete the props neces-
sary-

PREPARATION: Put the ydlow silk in your upper coat

pocket. Put the feked cork on your tabk behind another
prop. Pour the glitter through the funnel into the bottle
and cork the bottle with the ordinary cork. Put the glass
on your table.

ROUTINE: Display the bottle and remove the cork. Pick

up the glass, pour the glitter into the glass and replace it
on the table. Take the silk from your pocket and commence
poking the comer, diagonally opposite the thread, into the
neck of the bottle. Continue poking the silk into the neck
and when it is all pushed in slap the bottom of the bottle
smartly against your hand and that will dislodge the silk
from the neck into the main part of the bottle. The thread
.should be hanging free down the back of the bottle with
the loop about three inches below the bottom. Pick up the
feke cork now with the top of the cork pointing toward the
audience so it will look normal, and push it into the mouth
of the bottle. The slot of the cork should be facing the back
and the thread should run freely out of the bottle through
this slot. Be careful, in placing the cork in, that the thread
is not wedged between the side of the cork and the bottle.
Tap the cork visibly with your hand as if pounding it into
the bottle, but don't tap too hard. There must be enough
of a hole extending above the top of the bottle for the silk
to slip through.
 Hold the bottle in the left hand and tilt it so that the top
of the cork points toward the audience. They will see the
mouth sealed with a normal looking cork. Insert the thumb
of your right hand into the loop of thread and turn your
right hand palm upwards grasping the bottom of the bottle.
Release your left hand and turn the bottle upsidedown with
the right. With your left hand grasp the neck of the bottle,
release your right hand and hold it slightly above the bot-
tom of the bottle as shown. The loop is still on your thumb.
With small plucking motions, pretend to be trying to grab
the silk through the glass bottom of the bottle. All of a sud-
den raise your right hand abruptly, quite a distance, pulling
downward just a little with your left hand. This motion will
cause the silk to be pulled out of the neck of the bottle,
through the small opening in the cork, and up into the air
above the bottom of the bottle. Catch the silk with right
hand as it flies up and t o the audience the illusion is per-
fect! It will apaear that the silk came right through the bot-
tom of the bottle. Replace the silk in your pocket. Turn
the bottle upright, remove the cork and the bottle can be
handed out to a spectator for close inspection.
NOTE: The purpose of the glitter is to show that the bot-
tle has no holes for the contents to leak out (except the
customary mouth of the bottle). Liquid can be used in the SUGGESTED POETIC PATTER:
bottle but has the tendency to leave the inside of the bot- Mysterious Green Glass Bottle. . .
tle wet. causing the silk to stick to the glass and not slide Let M e Fill You With M y Thoughts-
freely through the cork. From a short distance the glitter Golden Thoughts -
will appear to be liquid and will sparkle when poured from That You May Keep Them Safe
a large height. Until The Time I Wish T o Set Them Free!

T h i s is an adaptation of Tan Hock Chuan's "Silk

Through the Glass" in the Tarbell Couse. Volume 6, page
129. Tan expressed his great pleasure when 1 showed him
this variation of his effect. He thought it was the prettiest
use of the method that he had seen.

 THE LUCK OF AMEN BHNKE31

T h i s prayer has been sent t o you f o r luck, The o r i g i ~ iin s c r i p t i o o ca-me

from a tomb i n ancient Egypt and has been around the world 9 times, You are t o
receive luck within 7 days of receiving t h i s l e t t e r , Luck w i l l f o l l o ~ ~ It, is
no joke, You w i l l get yoms,

This c h i n was s t a r t e d by Iiing Anen Ahnken i n 2050 B.C., inscribed on

papyrus and entombed with his body when he died. 4000 years l a t e r , i n 1950,
Frank Ames, Egyptologist, unearthed the tomb and discovered the mysterious
papyrus. A s he translated the ancient hieroglyphics, he read: I1By the power
of mighty Osooris, luck s h a l l come t o him who reads t h i s chant and passes it on.
Two others must receive copies of this i n s c r i p t i o n t o continue t h e chain."

That was e s s e n t i a l l y the translation except f o r a few drawings he could not

i n t e r p r e t a t the tine.* Do not brealc the chain, You must sefid 2 copies of this
l e t t e r , within 24. hours, t o people you think need luck (good o r bad). Cross out
the t o p name and add yours t o t h e bottom. Do not send money, I n a few days you
will. get a surprise, even if you do not beJieve i n this s o r t of hogwash.**

Frank Ames followed the i n s c r i p t i o n and mailed copies t o his 2 closest

friends. Coincidence o r not, luck came t o Frank Ames 3 days l a t e r o He broke
his r i g h t l e g when he t r i e d t o jump over t h e net a t t h e victorious conclusion of
a t a b l e tennis tournament,

m n z Drdla received a copy of the c b i n end forgot where he put it, k few
days l a t e r he l o s t his job. Then he found the l e t t e r and sent copies of t h e in-
scription t o 2 friends. S i x days l a t e r he received $180 -his unemployment
check.

Brian Wolenda received a copy of the chair, i n 1962, He l a i d aside the in-
s c r i p t i o n and no luck came t o him f o r several weeks. Then one day he picked up
the l e t t e r again and t r i e d t o think of 2 people t o send copies to. A s luck
would have it, he had no friends; so he s e n t copies t o 2 stringers, Five days
l a t e r Brian became lucky; he won a year's suppLv of mclemrro deoderant on a TV
quiz show, Now he hzs his f r i e n d s back.
Gertrude Hanley received a copy of t h e chain but f a i l e d t o c i r c u l a t e it.
36 years l a t e r , she died.

THIS ROUTINE IS DESIGMED TO LET I U E SPECTATORS Ir\l Or3 THE SECRET OF 7CIE

TRICK, AND WHEN THEY TUlNK THEY UMDERSTAND IT, YOU PROGRESSIVELY LEAD TUEM
D O W ~7 U E PATH TO THE BOOBY HATCU AS TAEY LEAVE You T4LKING ToTUEMSELVES.
THE BEAUTY OF THIS ROUTINE IS THAT THE BASIC EFFECT I S PRESENTED 5 TIMES
A N D KEEPS GETTING MORE IMPOSSIBLE EACH TIME 17 IS REPEATED. IN EACH PHASE A
DIFFERE;NT SPECTATOR IS USED, CHOSEN BY A ~ N D o MTOSS OF A PlhlG PONG BALL.

EFFECT f I) FROM A SHUFFLED DECK O F CARDS, 5 CARDS ARE REMOVED AT RANDOM AND
PLACED AGAINST A N EASEL WITH ONLY Me BACKS SHOWIAIG. A SPECTATOR LOOKS AT
AND REMEMBERS ONE WUlLE TME PERC~WEU'S BACK IS TWRMED. T H E PERFORMER
TURNS BACK AROUND AND PLACES THE 5 CARDS Ihl UIS POCKET AND REMOVES FouR.
TCIE Oh)€ CAQ) LEFT IN UIS PQCKET IS THE SPECTATOR'S CARD.

3) THE EFFECT IS REPEATED &AlN AND T H I S TIME, 70 PROVETHAT N O WTRA
CARDS ARE USED, THE SPECTATOR I S ALLOWED 70 REACH INTO THE PERFORMER'S POCKET
To R&MoVE TUE 57u CARD WINSELF, WHICH AGAIN PROVES TO BE THE CORRECT CARD.
4) FIVE N E W CARDS ARE PLACED O N THE ECISEL AND O N C E MORE M E SPECT4-
TOR LOOKS AT AND RWEMBERS OIUE, BVT HE DOES N O T SHOW IT TO TME AUDIENCE. THlS
TfME TUE PER-WER DOES NOT TOUCH T H E CARDS hloR DOES HE LoOK AT THEM, Y E T HE
NAMES THE SELECTED a R D ALOUD. TUE CARD IS TURNED FOR T H E AUDIENCE To VERIFY.
5) FIVE NEU ~ R D ARE
S PCACED ON THE EASEL AND IS SELECTED BY ~ C I E
SPECTATOR. THE PERfORMER EXPLAlfdS HOW HE Kh)6W THE SELECTED CARD EACH TIME.
HE SIMPLY USED A CUE CARD. OM THE BACK O F T H E EASEL I S THE NAME O F THE SPEC-
