I do not know just what you are driving at, as much is left to the imagination. I understand you have been to my performance several times and have seen on the programme that patrons wishing to challenge Nicola are requested to send in their challenge to the manager, when it will be accepted in the usual manner. You are perfectly aware of this, yet you have not done so.

In my challenge I do not except you or anyone else. My offer is plain and open, and if you care to conform to the conditions laid down, your test will be taken the same as others. I have been fastened with hundreds of handcuffs by the leading police and detectives alt over the world, and I do not exnect to learn anything about the tricks of the trade by a fourth-rate amateur magician such as I am told you are. You mention something about money going to the Hospital. What money? If you mean that you w-ish to bet on the result, please say how much. ■ Personally I do not bet, but my managers will have no scruples about taking your money from you. My advice to you, however, is for you to stick to your taxi, as I am sure you will find it more profitable tbaiT trying to win money from mo on my own game. —I am, etc., NICOLA.
