The Cabinet Séance

The cabinet SÉance This séance is especially good for the stage, although it may be done in the parlor. It enables the performer to carry on his work in full light without being detected.

Performer is tied to a chair with tapes or soft clothesline and is placed inside a cabinet - or a curtain is drawn in front of him. A cane placed in his lap mysteriously appears over the front curtain. A tambourine and bell, placed in cabinet, jingle and ring in a baffling manner. A glass of water placed on performer's lap vanishes and glass is found in performer's mouth. A slate placed on his lap is found with a message written on it. At conclusion, performer is still seen to be tied securely.
