The Magic Orange

This is a very interesting little experiment, similar to that performed by John Mulholland and Milton Smith, worked on the same principle as the three preceding effects. When smoothly performed and clothed with a little story, it makes an excellent trick for parlor, club, or stage.

An orange with a hole punched through the middle is threaded onto two pieces of tape, each about four feet long. Tapes are tied in a single knot around the orange, and two spectators are requested to hold the ends of the tapes. At a command from the performer the orange falls from the tapes into his hands. The tapes remain stretched between the two spectators holding it and the orange is in the same condition as it was at the beginning of the effect.
