When the bits are made into a ball, the exchange can easily be mads. The duplicate paper is held between the -thumb and second finger tips, or it may be hidden in the crevice' at the base of the forefinger. When the duplicate is about half unrolled, the magician takes the duplicate piece in his left hand and moistens his right fingertips with his lips.
