TRICKS WITH CIGARETTES
1. THE TRAVELING CIGARETTE
Effect. The passage of a cigarette from hand to hand through the right knee and back again, then through both knees.
Method. Two cigarettes are required, both being held in the left hand—one openly, the other in the thumb grip. Show the right hand empty, and take the cigarette with it between the first and second fingers. Lower the hands with their backs to the front and place them one on each side of the right knee, about six inches away. Tap the side of the right knee with the cigarette, then move the hand back to its first position. Repeat the movement; but this time rapidly thumb palm the cigarette and at the same time bring the left hand against the left side of, the knee and produce the palmed cigarette between the first and second fingers of that hand. Pause for a moment or two; then repeat the moves the reverse way, apparently sending the cigarette through the knee back to the right hand.
Place the knees together and pass the cigarette across in exactly the same way. This feat is very effective and so easy that there is a temptation to repeat it too often, a fault frequently committed by manipulators.
