The
above,
with
proper
mise
en
scène,
will
be
found
an
ample

a

hours’
entertainment.
It
is
hardly
necessary
to
observe
that
the
programme
of
the
same
entertainment
for
distribution
among
the
audience
would
be
of
a
very
different
character.
This
is
always
drawn
up
in
the
vaguest
possible
terms,
so
as
not
to
reveal
beforehand
the
actual
effect
of
the
different
tricks.
Thus
the
tricks
in
question
would
be
described
somewhat
as
follows:--
