Multiplication Subtraction (1926)

Remember, years ago when the wily Conjuror used to wriggle his fingers about a small billiards ball, which multiplied and contracted most M, S of the magician (Mr Percy Rossiter) demonstrating a trick pretty impressive. And sometimes he d even swallow one Percy opens his mouth, wiggles his tongue and swallows one of the balls. He wiggles his tongue again then appears to pull the billiards ball from his Adams Apple. Just in case Father would like to mystify the youngsters as he used to be puzzled, Mr Rossiter showed us how to do C, U of Mr Rossiter s hands as he demonstrates the trick. There is a fake half ball which he manipulates, slipping it over the real balls. The swallow will probably be easiest for C, U of Percy as he prepares to swallow the ball. He demonstrates his sleight of hand technique then smiles broadly at the camera. Was an item in Pathe Pictorial issue number 448. FILM A VIDEO FROM BRITISH PATHÉ. EXPLORE OUR ONLINE CHANNEL,
