A Spirit Communication

In Lesson 8, I taught you the mystery of the traveling numbers. In this lesson I give you an interesting variation of that effect, combining it with the use of ribbon.

Two pieces of cardboard are shown to be blank on both sides. A spectator is requested to write four numbers, one on each side of the two pieces of cardboard. These slates are then wrapped with ribbon and given

to a spectator to hold.

Magician now asks several spectators to write numbers of three digits, one under the other, on a small pad of paper. Another member of the audience adds these numbers. Magician then opens up the package of slates, and inside on one of the card boards has been mysteriously written the sum of the numbers.
