To Guess Two Ends of a Line of Dominoes
For this trick a whole set of dominoes is required, the performer taking care to hide one of the set, not a double, in his pocket. The remaining dominoes should be shuffled, and placed according to the ordinary rules of domino games, and the performer undertakes to tell, without seeing them, the two numbers forming the extremes of the line, set during his absence from the room. The numbers on the extreme ends of the domino line will be exactly the same as the numbers on the domino which the performer has in his pocket. If he is asked to repeat the trick, he should be sure to change the hidden domino, or he may chance to be found out. There are tales of ancient magic tricks that modern magicians have never been able to duplicate. The Indian Rope Trick is one of these. The tale says that it was done outdoors and that the rope suddenly extended upward, a boy climbed it and insulted the magician, who followed the boy. The magician had a sword, both disappear at the top of the rope, then body parts fall to the ground. The magician climbs down the rope and gathers the parts into a blanket, which he then shakes, and the boy steps out alive and well. Modern magicians say this is impossible.
