Here's another little trick that you'll get mad at because you didn't think of it yourself. It can be used as a club
trick, in your show, or in a parlor, and will prove to be a distinct success with you, as it has with us. The effect, briefly, is that a lady's ring is borrowed and before it is taken by the spectator, the lender is given a small parcel which is wrapped up in paper and tied with string. The ring is now vanished while the performer is still in the audience.

The bundle, or package, is untied, the lady herself lifts the cover of the small box (which was really the bundle) and if she is a normal woman, a very funny feeling will come over her because she sees her ring there reposing on some cotton. She removes it herself without the performer touching it. This is a little different trick insofar as the spectator does not exclaim: "I'd hate to play poker with you!"

+ d/ _& f7 x3 BIn this trick we have found out, at last, something which you all know, but which the majority of you have never found any use for. All of you that are over 112 years old will recall that in 1812 a trick came out where a finger reposed on some cotton inside of a box. It looked as if the finger was alive. It was, for it was the performer's finger which he pushed in the box through a hole in the bottom. This is the big secret.

Have a small box about 3-1/2 x 2-1/2 inches. If it is bigger or larger it makes no difference. Near the end, on the bottom of the box, have a hole. Now fill the box 3/4 full with cotton. Next have two handkerchiefs with a lady's ring (from the 10c store) sewed in the middle. If you are in an armchair while reading this trick you are all set.

Have the handkerchief in your pocket. Have the box wrapped with paper and tie a ribbon around it. When you borrow the lady's ring give her the box. Take the ring in the right hand, take out the handkerchief with the left hand; your right hand goes underneath the handkerchief, places the ring on the third finger of the left hand, loosely. As it is a woman's ring it will not slide down far, anyway. Press the third finger with the ring on it against the palm of the hand and this will prevent its coming off.

Now ask some spectator to stand up and hold the ring through the handkerchief-which he does. You now turn and tell the audience that although you are standing right beside them, although you have no assistants with you, and no trap doors, you are going to make the ring disappear while the man is holding it. ("Do you feel it, sir?") and go inside the package the lady is holding.

With your right hand, take one corner of the handkerchief, tell the spectator holding it that when you say "three" to let go. When he does so, pull the handkerchief and apparently the ring has disappeared. Shake it and place it back in your pocket.

Now go to the lady with the bundle. You take the box holding it with the left hand between the first finger and thumb, and untie the ribbon with the right finger. Throw paper and ribbon on the floor. Hold the box so that your third finger goes underneath it, push the finger up in the hole to the center of the box on top of the cotton, and you will find that by pressing against the cotton downward the ring will come off your finger and stay on the cotton. Your finger comes out of the hole and you invite the lady to open the box. There she will find her ring and she takes it out herself. The cotton prevents anyone from seeing the hole, as it will go right back into place after your finger comes out.

这里有个你根本想不到的足以使你疯狂的小手法. 它可以作为你在俱乐部里的表演秀,或是作为一个独特的室内魔术让你在瞬间成为最成功的人.

效果：
/ b% L7 u- q8 G9 | 很简单,向现场一位女士借一个戒指,并给她一个小盒子,用纸包裹住并用线系住. 魔术师还在观众中间选出一位替他拿着戒指，之后魔术师站在一边而戒指却消失了。让女士解开被包住的盒子并打开,这时候她的正常反应应该只有惊奇,因为她会发现她的戒指在小盒子里的棉花上. 戒指被成功移动到女士那里而这期间魔术师没有触碰它. 这是一个独特而神奇的手法,因为不会有观众这么说:"我已经厌烦你的扑克表演!!"
4 \" G1 h) a: {+ i' j; R. \: E
# ^* O' }# Z$ T% y5 ^! v 在这个手法中我们要注意什么是所有人都明白的而什么是大多数人都不会发现的。如果你已经超过112岁,那你因该能记得那个1812年的戏法：一个手指放在盒子里的棉花中而且它还能活动。而事实的真相是，表演者将自己的手指从盒子的一个小洞穿进盒子。相同的这也是这个魔术最大的奥秘。 - b1 A' z' ^+ V
9 ?7 {# E2 R, a! k- G! f 准备一个大约3-1/2 x 2-1/2英寸规格的小盒子（大一点也没关系，一样这么做）。在盒子底靠近边缘的地方做一个小孔。现在用棉花铺满盒子3/4的空间。下一步把戒指放在两块手帕中间。当你读到这里，大概已经知道要怎么做这个魔术了吧。
* U1 `/ i) K, u( O 把手帕放进你的口袋，用纸包起盒子并用绳子系上。当你街道女士的戒指时把盒子交给她。右手拿着戒指，用左手拿出手帕；把右手放在手帕下面把戒指换到无名指，放松地拿着（因为这是一个女式戒指拿着因该不会很困难，用无名指和手掌卡住戒指，这样就会防止它掉下来）。6 }" c" G6 N- a% y. L) Z2 d
现在请一位观众站出来然后托着放有戒指的手帕（其实它不在那里）。然后你告诉观众即便你站在一边，即便你没有助手或是什么机关，但你已经让这枚戒指从手帕中消失了（你可以问：感觉到了吗，这位先生？），并进入那位女士的包裹中。
4 i: ~- X' l: r4 _$ U! Z; k1 D 用你的右手拿着手帕的一角，告诉观众说：“当我数到3你就放手。”当他这样做了以后拉出手帕并展开，很显然它‘消失’了。把手帕放回口袋中。
7 M, M- }; C% e 现在卡住戒指走向那位女士。用左手拇指和食指拿着盒子，右手解开捆着的绳子，把解下的纸和绳子扔掉。持好盒子以便你的无名指可以放在盒子下面并伸进下方的孔中并顶到盒子中部的棉花上面，你会发现，由于棉花的阻力，戒指将离开你的手指并留在你手指离开的地方。把手指拿出来并让女士打开盒子。她便会在里面发现她的戒指并将它取出来。因为在你手指拿出来之后棉花会回来原来的位置，所以将不会有人发现孔的存在。
