HAND TRICKS.
Can you put your hand where the other cannot touch it? Try it and' see! As a matter of fact, there is only one position of this kind, and that is on the opposite elbow. There is another trick to do with your hands that is quite simple. This is to place your middle finger-tips together, stretching all your fingers out, aiid get someone to grasp your wrists firmly and pull them apart. Unless they are extremely strong people they' will not be able to do it. It should be a firm, steady pull, and not a jerk. Another trick similar to this is for one person to sit down on a chair and place his hand on his head. Another lias to lift it off, also by a steady pull. This, too, is very difficult.
