4. THE TIP TILT

Take the cigarette by one end between the tips of the left fingers, turned upwards, so that the whole cigarette is visible. With the right hand give it a series of gentle taps to push it down into the left hand; then show it there by turning the palm of the hand to the front. This is a feint. Repeat the operation; but at the moment when the cigarette is about to disappear into the left hand, instead of striking vertically with the tips of the right fingers, give it a slanting blow, which will make it tilt on the fingers of the left hand. It is thus brought into a horizontal position and you seize it by pressing the tip of the right middle finger on the outer end, pushing the inner end against the palm of the right hand (Figs. 11 and 12). Close the left hand, apparently carrying the cigarette away, and complete the vanish.
