6. SWALLOWING A WATCH
Hold the watch by the ring only, so that the watch protrudes above the fingers. Lift the watch to the mouth, the back of the hand to the front, and insert the watch in the mouth. Continue the upward motion of the right hand while you retain the grip on the ring, thus withdrawing the watch; then let it fall into the right palm. Push out one cheek with the tongue to simulate the presence of the watch, and make a pretense of swallowing it. In the meantime you have dropped the right hand to the level of the waist, and with the tips of the fingers of both hands you press on the stomach at the bottom of the vest. Slip the watch under the vest with the right-hand fingers and press the thumb against it through the cloth, then raise the bottom of the vest and slowly remove the watch with the left hand.
If you execute this manipulation before you have had any occasion to turn away from the audience, you can have a duplicate watch hooked between your shoulders and, after the swallowing operation, thump your chest with your fist, turn round and display the duplicate watch on your back, at the same time pocketing the palmed watch.
