The Ball, Vase and Hammer


Here is a beautiful trick that must be seen to be appreciated. Taking a )retty billiard ^ball the performer gently bids it adieu and the ball
vanishes o other regions. Placing the cover on the vase and removing same again we lnd Mr. Ball all lodged in the vase as content as
can be. Taking the finely inished hammer the performer rather peeved at Mr. Ball, hits him a rap on he bean and causes him to seek
shelter elsewhere, as Mr. Ball leaves the rase abruptly when hit. Not to be outdone by Mr. Ball, the performer reaches down and
produces him from his knee. The trick is finely finished, being turned from the finest wood resulting in a product vastly superior. Many
Dther effects are possible with the outfit we furnish and we sincerely trust that ?ach of our customers will take advantage and add this
effect to their pro-;rani. Can be used on stage or in parlor. Price complete in the finest grade, 50 cents.

No. 21B. The Magical Ball Tube and Four Mysterious Balls
Just what the name implies—read carefully. The performer shows a pretty tube which has a cover on each and very ordinary, that is with
ifo secret compartments to conceal balls. He places the balls into the tube, for instance, two red ones, followed by two white ones. He asks
in what succession they want the balls to come out, for instance, they say a white one, then a red ball, followed by another white one.
Immediately is the word spoken we find the balls obey and out they come just as called for. Honestly, folks, I suggest the trick for your
program and I am the guy that writes this stuff in the day time and performs in the evening. This is a good effect and I use it. Price °omplete
with full instructions, $1.00. We also furnish a fine nickeled stand !o let the balls roll on, with this stand we will furnish the trick complete for $3.

No. 22B. The Great Diminishing Billiard Ball. Read This.
Here is a trick that every performer great and small should own. It is really very pretty and mystifying to the extreme. The magician takes a
beautiful red ball between his hands and gently rubs it, giving it a squeeze when suddenly it becomes much smaller. Then again he goes
through the same an-tics and the ball becomes even smaller. He passes for examination to prove it is not made of rubber. Upon receiving it
back he again rubs it between his hands and the ball becomes so small that it cannot be seen, it has vanished. We furnish the neatest and
finest outfit ever gotten up and cannot be purchased elsewhere. Full instructions and patter goes with the trick. Now the price, 50c. We have
brought it way down so that you will have one of the greatest billiard ball feats ever invented.


No. 23B. The Enchanted Vases
A handsomely turned wood vase is shown and into it is placed a pretty ball, which is o~ highly finished red color. No sooner has th performer
placed the lid on the vase when he removes same and the ball has changed color. It is restored again to its natural color. The vase may be used
to vanish or change a ball into a handkerchief. This trick you will be proud of and we highly recommend same. Price $1.00.


No. 24B. The Handkerchief to Ball
Performer takes a silk handkerchief and gently waves it up and down into the air until it disappears from sight entirely. He has shown his hands
to contain nothing, but the handkerchief before the experiment, but now the silk has vanished vanished and in its place a solid billiard
ball is found. Very pretty and highly recommended. Price complete, 75c.
