AJ the monthly meeting of the Wellington Society of Magicians, held recently at Mr. G. Perry's' studio, the evening took the form of an informal discussion by members on several subjects of interest to the magical fraternity. ..■•■■■ Mr. H. Liardet described a cabinet illusion which is to be built by members and performed at future concerts in which the club assists. The question whether the Indian rope trick has ever been performed was discussed, and the unanimous conclusion of the club was that it is a "travellers' tale." The various wellknown accounts of people-who claim, to have seen the illusion were carefully i sifted and proclaimed toi be either wilfully or Unconsciously false. It ia , interesting to note that the English magician, David Devant, performed in the old Egyptian Hall an illusion cor- - responding very closely to the \tradi» tional description of the rope trick, but it has never been performed in the open air. Dante offered £1000 while in India to any person who could do so, but no replies were forthcoming..
