Card Magic Tricks 





Second  Method


For this  a false  bottom  is required,  fitting  into the plate, and made out of strong  white  cardboard,   the upper side of which  is covered  with white  glazed  paper.  Previous  to the trick,  a handkerchief  is placed  on the soup  plate,  which  is a white  china  one and is then  covered  by the false  bottom, the edge of which  is beveled  to ensure  a proper  fit of the bottom  in the
plate,  which  if properly  prepared,  may be freely  shown from  both sides,  the presence  of the false  bottom  being practically   impossible  to detect.  To prevent  the bottom from falling  out while  the plate  is shown,  the performer holds  it in place with  his fingers.  In inverting  the plate  on the table,  the bottom  drops  down and the hidden  handker­ chief  is liberated,   being  afterwards   discovered   under the plate.

Some  performers   have the lower  side and edge of the cardboard  disc  lined with  newspaper  and during  the trick, invert  the plate  on a newspaper  spread  on the table,  The lined  bottom  being  on the newspaper  is therefore   not dis­ cernable.  A still  better  way  is to have the lower side and edges  of the false  bottom  the same  color  as the table  top, which  plan makes the use of
the false  bottom  still  more difficult  to detect.
