Magician?s revenge
1.?Now,ladies and gentlemen,?said the magician,?having
shown you that the cloth is absolutely empty,I will proceed
to take from it a bowl of goldfish. Presto!?
2.All
around the hall people were saying,?Oh,how wonderful! How
does he do it??3.But the Quick Man on the sfront seat said
in a big whisper to the people near him,?He-had-it-up-his-
sleeve.?4.Then the people nooded brightly at the quick Man
and said,?Oh,of course?, and everybody whispered round the
hall, ?He ?had-it-up-his-sleeve.? 5.?My next trick,?said
the magician, ?Is the famous Hindustanee rings, You
willnotice that the rings are apparently separate; at a
blow theyall join(clang,clang,clang)-presto!6.There was
general buzz of amazement till the Quick Man was heard to
whisper, ?He ?must-have-hd-another-lot-up-his-
sleeve.?7.Again,everybody nodded and whispered, ?The rings-
were-up-his-sleeve.?8.The brow of the magicianwas clouded
with a gathering frown ?I will now,? he continued, ?show a
most amusing trick bywhich Iam enabled to take naynumber of
eggs froma hat. Will some gentleman kindly lend me his hat?
Ah!thank you-Presto!?
9.He extracted seventeen eggs and
for thirty-five seconds the audience began to think that he
was wonderful. Then the Quick man whispered along the
front bench, ? He-has-a hen-up-his-sleeve,? and all the
people whispered it on, ? He-has-a-lot-of-hens-up-his-
sleeves.? The egg trick was ruined.
10.It went on like
that allthrough. I seemed form the shispers of the Quick
man that the Magician must hae concealed uphis
sleeve,inadditin to the rings,hens,and fish,seeral packs of
cards a loaf of bread,a dol?s cradle,a live guinea-pig,a
fifty-cent piece,and rocking chair.
11.the reputatin of
the magician was rapidly sinking below zero. Athe the
close of the evening he made a finaleffort.
12.?Ladies
and Gentlemen,?he said,?I will prepsent to you,in
conclusin,the famous Japanese trick recently invented by
the people of tipperary.? ?Will you,sir,?he continues
turing towards the Quick man, ?Will youkindly hand me your
gold watch.? It was passed byto him.
13.?Have I your
permission to put it into thismortar andpound it to
pieces??he asked savagely. The Quick mannodded and smiled.

14.the Magician threw the watchintothemortar and
grasped a sledge-hammer form the table. There was a sound
of violent smashing.
15.?He?s ?slipped-it-up-his-
sleeve,?whispered the Quick Man.
16.?now,sir,?Continuted
the magician, ?Willyou allow me to take your handkerchief
and punch holes in it? thank you. You see,ladies and
gentlemen,there is no deception;theholes are visible to the
eye.?
17.the face of the Quick Man beamed. This time
the real mystery of the thinking fascinated him.
18.?And
now,sir,willyoukindly pas me your silk hat and allow me to
dance onit?Thank you.?
19.the magician made a few passes
withhsfeet and exhibited the hat,crushed beyond
recogniton.
20.?And willyou now,sir,tke f your shirt
collar and permit me to burn it in the cand;le?thank
you,sir And willyou allow me to smah your spectacle for
your withmy hammer?thank your.?
21.by this time the
features of the Quick Manwere takingon a puzzled
expressin. ?This thing beats me, ?he whispered. I don?t
see through it a bit.?
22.There was a greet hush upon
the audience. Then the magician drew himself up tohis
fullheight, and with a withering look at the Quick Man, he
concluded:Ladies and gentlmen,you willobserve that I have,
withthis gentlemen?s permission ,broken his watch,burnt his
collar,smashed his spectacles, and danced on his hat. If
he willgive ma further permisisn to paint green stripes
onhis overcoat,or to tie his uspenders in a knot,I shall be
delighted to enterain you. If not, the performance is at
an end>?
23.Amid a glorious burst ofmusic from the
orchestra the curtain fell, and the audience broke
up,concinced that there are some tricks\,att any rate, that
are not done up the magician?s sleeve.
