Take care. Working with these objects and effects is inherently dangerous; anyone who attempts them does so at their own risk. Anybody under 18 is advised to undertake them only with a parent's permission and supervision.
Douglas has a slightly different version of the above effect, in which he uses 13-inch silks. In this case, two white silks are knotted together and a red silk, which is apparently pushed through the head, appears, knotted between them. A white ball is then produced from the silks, is apparently thrown through the head and caused to appear in the mouth.
How it is done
The method, 18 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
