"Take a card," said Dîck Du- Bois to a fellow bef'uddler, hold- ing out an appnrently guileless pack cf cards. The campanion agreeably chose ane-the f ifteen of spades. DuBois took the card batk, shujffhd the deck an.d threw it into a Hýilcu anake basket, whereupon a mechanical eýcobra reared up, the fifteen i-o ,spades iu his fangs,. Magic, accordinig ta, profession- ai perfarmrer Roy Benson, is the seFcond ldest profession. "Poetry is the oldlest," Benson said, shat- tering a c'rished illusioni. "Anid miagie, in the f orm of primitive Mnedicine and religion, is second. The witch doctors thousai--is of years aga, pre-empted somie of our best material." To some historians of ,magic, whbo recalled that the first re- corded feat of legerdlemain was performed by Dedi in Egypt 5,000 years ago wit live goose, it meemed that the art had gone f ull eircle. The stu-nts at Hartford again featured fowl. ColleCtively, the canjurers produced soae twenty doves, six chicks, auid three aduit chickenjs. "Pou-ltry in. mciotion!" one wag puuued. Only 1h. Amazing Scaîzo, respiendenit JR ýwhite fuli dress, produced Pa rabbit, and th at was- an i mper fect breecb delivery, because the ani- rxal iùsisted on appearing tail first, "Scaizo washed his hr xnd couldn't do a thîng with it,"' k. friend quipped.
