THE
DISSOLVING
FLAG
AND
CANDLE.
This
is
a
startling
trick,
consisting
of
a
series
of
surprises.
The
performer
first
shows
a
beautiful
silk
flag,
which
he
rubs
in
his
hands,
and
commands
to
pass
into
a
lighted
candle,
standing
on
the
table.
The
flag
is
then
seen
slowly
to
melt
away,
the
performer
showing
both
hands
empty.
He
then
takes
the
lighted
candle,
and
extinguishes
it
by
wrapping
it
in
a
piece
of
newspaper,
which
he
screws
up
very
tight,
until
it
breaks
with
the
twisting,
when,
instead
of
the
remains
of
the
candle,
the
silk
flag
is
discovered
tightly
twisted
in
the
paper,
and
the
candle
has
entirely
disappeared.
This
is
one
of
the
most
effective
tricks
ever
invented,
and
is
quite
new.
Price
