3. A CIGARETTE CHANGES INTO A SILK
Effect. A lighted cigarette changes instantly into a silk.
Preparation. Sew a cigarette vanisher, without the elastic, into the hem of a silk handkerchief so that the mouth of the vanisher is at one side of a corner. Fold the silk by method 1 (3), so that the vanisher projects at the center of the roll and the free end of the silk is tucked into one of the folds. Place it in your outside left coat pocket with a box of matches.
Method. Show a cigarette, or borrow one; put it in your mouth with the right hand; get the matches with the left hand and at the same time palm the silk. Light the cigarette and puff on it; drop the matches into the pocket without replacing the left hand in it. Clench the left hand so that the mouth of the vanisher is pointing upwards; then push the cigarette into the left fist, lighted end first. When it is right inside the vanisher, take hold of that corner of the silk with the right hand, open the left hand, and instantly jerk the right hand upwards. The silk will expand immediately, leaving no trace of the cigarette.
The trick is an excellent one for making the passage from cigarettes to silks, or as an interlude at any stage of the routine.
