Trick With a Slate.
An ordinary slate, such us children
write on, Is shown to the audience.
To prove that nothing is written upon
It, both sides are rubbed with n wet
sponge. A chair Is brought to the fore
ground, the sent of which is covered
with a black cloth. Then the perform
er asks any girl In the audience to be
kind enough to give her flrst name nnd
offers to make the slate guess the date
of her birth. After the nniiio Is given
the performer places the slate on tho
chnlr mid la.vH u piece of chnlk upon
It. After making u few motions over
the Hltilt- to Indicate that the writing
Is going on, the performer lifts up the
slate, and, behold, one sldu of the slate
shows the coriect name and date of
birth.
This seems to be a trick hard to ex
plain, but nevertheless It Is a simple
one. Take a plain Klute, on ono sale
of which the name uud tho dato are
previously wn 'en. A friend of the
performer Is hul meted to call the
name so quickly that no one else can
get ahead of him. All that is left to
do Is to secrete the name and date on
the slate until It Is time for them to ap
pear. To do this you will have to get
n piece of cuidboiml, ilttlng exactly
over the blnck part of tho slate, both
sides of which are covered smoothly
with blnck Blnte paper. Put this over
the side of the slate with the writing
on It. Place the shite with the Rheet
over it face down on tho chnlr. Wheu
you nro going to show the secret writ
lug to the audience lift the slate In
such way that the sheet stays upon
the blnck cloth, where It, being blnck,
too, cannot be discerned. Chicago
