THE
“DOMINO-BOX”
(SOMETIMES
CALLED
THE
“GLOVE-BOX”).--This
is
a
little
oblong
box
of
walnut
or
rosewood,
measuring
about
four
inches
in
length
by
two
inches
in
width,
and
an
inch
and
a
quarter
in
depth.
It
has
a
sliding
lid,
drawing
out
in
the
ordinary
manner,
but
the
whole
box
has
a
tightly-fitting
inner
lining,
which
may
be
pulled
out,
drawer
fashion,
with
the
lid.
(See
Fig.
218.)
It
is
used
as
follows:--Any
small
article,
say
a
glove
or
a
lady’s
handkerchief,
is
secretly
placed
inside
this
inner
lining.
The
performer
exhibits
the
box
to
the
company,
and
to
show
that
it
is
empty,
turns
it
over
towards
them,
and
draws
the
lid
nearly
out,
drawing
out
with
it
at
the
same
time
the
inner
lining
or
drawer
also.
(See
Fig.
219.)
From
the
position
of
the
box,
the
drawer
is,
at
a
very
short
distance,
completely
hidden
by
the
lid.
The
box
is,
of
course,
seen
to
be
perfectly
empty.
The
performer
now
closes
it,
and
turning
its
right
side
upwards,
places
it
on
the
table.
He
then
proceeds
with
the
next
stage
of
the
trick,
and
at
the
right
moment
again
opens
the
box,
or
invites
some
one
else
to
do
so.
This
time
the
lid
alone
is
drawn
out,
and
the
hidden
article
is
found
in
the
box.
