1. THE FINGER CLIP

image

This is a half ring of metal with a pin soldered to it (Fig. 15). It fits on the back of the middle finger just below the nail and when a cigarette is impaled on the pin it lies along the back of the finger, thus being invisible when the hand is held with its palm to the front. In bending the fingers to make a pretended catch, the cigarette is brought into view, extending from the tips of the fingers. In putting the cigarette into a receptacle, the hand is inserted, the fingers are straightened, and the cigarette is again brought behind the middle finger ready for another catch. Finally the gimmick can be disposed of by letting it fall into the receptacle with the cigarette after the last catch.
