1. SWALLOWING A CIGAR

Place an unlighted cigar between the lips and show your hands empty. Put the tip of the middle finger of the right hand against the outer end of the cigar, throw the head back a little, push the right hand upwards, release the end from the lips, and press the middle of the cigar against the nose. The lower end is thus brought against the palm of the right hand and you grip the cigar in the finger palm. Remove the hand, carrying the cigar away; close the mouth and make a pretense, of swallowing the cigar.

Place both hands flat on the stomach, the fingers of the right hand pointing to the left and those of the left hand to the right, the left fingers slightly overlapping those of the right hand.

With the right middle finger push the point of the cigar between two buttons of the vest, rub the stomach with the hands; and with the heel of the right hand push the cigar completely into the left side of the vest. Continue rubbing and gradually separate the hands, finally removing them and letting it be seen that both are empty. Lift the edge of the vest with both hands and bring the cigar out with the right hand.
