In this invention of the celebrated Prof. Conradi, the performer introduces a transparent glass case into which he places an ordinary pack of thirty-two cards, previously examined and shufiled by the company.

The glass case is'placed upright on a minature glass top table, which stands on one of the regular side tables.

Any card whatever, that the spectators now name, will, at the performer's command, visibly rise out of the shuffled pack in the case, the conjurer remaining in the audience during the operation. The card is removed from the case and the same experiment is repeated, as often as desired, with any of the cards remaining in the case.
