3. A FLOWER FROM THE FLAME OF A CANDLE
Cut a rose or a carnation with about two inches of stalk. Near the end of the stalk tie a black silk thread about eighteen inches long; push the flower into the sleeve the back of the wrist; bring the silk along the back of the hand, over the thumb fork and then between the first and second fingers, and fasten the end to your vest by means of a bent black pin (Fig. 5).
The act of stretching out your hand (after showing it empty) toward the candle flame will pull the flower out of your sleeve to the root of the forefinger; drop the thumb on it and push it to the tips of the fingers, so that it appears to be taken from the flame.
