Conjurerers claim that it’s the quickness of the hand that deceives the eye, but it was the quickness ol tlte hand that deceived the conjurer at an Auckland theatre recently A lad had been called up on to the stage to assist in one of the magician’s illusions, and was handed a glass of water. When the water was no longer required, it became a question of what was to be done with it. The conjurer, who had previously scored heavily at the youngster’s expense, suggested that he should throw the contents of the glass over the or ehestra. It was evident that the suggestion was made in the wav of a joke, but in a twinkling it had been carried into effect The lad’s aim was good, and 1 the orchestra received ■nough water for half a dozen chrisenings. The incident delighted the ‘house.” and was the hit of the evening.
