After a card has been selected, it is returned to the pack, which the performer throws against a mircor, with the result that all but one of the cards ogether with some fragments of the glass, fall t the floor.
The chosen one, however, remains attached to the mirror and is removed by the performer, when it is discovered that the mirror is seriously damaged, a large ragger ole being visible to everybody. After due apologies o the part of the conjurer, he gathers up the broken pieces and wraps them in a handkerchief, with which he wipes the broken mirror; when, to everyone's astonishment, the mirror is seen to have been completely restored, all trace of the breakage having mysteriously disappeared.
