An ordinary dinner fork and a tumb- ler are used. Everyone knows that if the finger tip is drawn, with some force over the tines of the fork, the fork will give forth a ringing note—as a tuning fork will. do. This should be :done several times to prepare the spectators for the real mystery vrhicli is to follow. Aum t bier is placed in front of the trickster. He causes the fork to.ring by drawing his finger tips over the tines. , He pretends to gather the sound in his hand. As the sound of the fork ' becomes inaudible he throws this "handful of sound" at the tu'mbier. Im- mediately the tumbler begins to ring. The fact is that the tumbler only seems to ring. Much depends upon the manner in which the trickster acts the affair. Just as the sound of the vibrating tines dies away, the trickster touches the handle of the fork 'to the table. The sound again becomes audible but the spectators believe that the sound comes from the tumbler. With a little practice, the illusion is perfect.
