Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring

THE
FLOATING
STICK.
(A
STARTLING
EXPERIMENT.)
The
performer,
taking
in
his
hands
a
round
black
wand
such
as
is
used
during
the
performance,
about
two
feet
long,
makes
it
go
through
the
most
extraordinary
performance.
First
he
places
the
bar
in
the
palm
of
his
hand,
and
holding
his
hand
up
in
perpendicular
position,
the
bar
is
seen
suspended
without
any
support.
The
performer
now
places
the
bar
to
the
extreme
points
of
his
fingers,
and
holds
his
arm
in
a
horizontal
position,
when
the
bar
is
again
seen
suspended
without
any
support
in
that
most
difficult
position.
To
prove
that
this
wonderful
performance
is
done
without
the
aid
of
invisible
silk,
wire,
wax,
or
mechanism,
the
operator
places
the
bar
against
the
back
of
his
hand,
and
once
more
it
is
seen
suspended
in
mid-air,
while
he
takes
it
quite
close
to
the
company
for
inspection.
Price,
$2.
