Parlor Tricks and Games: Home-Made Apparatus; Simple! Wonderful! Astonishing! (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Parlor Tricks and Games: Home-Made Apparatus; Simple! Wonderful! Astonishing!
The following trick, easy of execution, produces a charm ing and complete illusion: Prepare a small, thin silk handkerchief as follows: Have one corner double and sufficiently large to contain a blown egg. Place the shell in this corner pocket and sew it up. Next wrap the handkerchief very tightly and smoothly around the shell and put a thread around it to keep it in place.
Before you commence the trick lay it behind a plate on which are a few real eggs.
It can also be concealed on the body, the' true object being to change it later with a real egg.
