A Magician's Party
Author:

The word magic has always been an interesting an enthralling word for many children. They are in the age of fantasy, far from reality. If this fits your child, a magician party will be a fun and thrill.

Every boy is born with a touch of Houdini in his soul. By the time he's twelve he'd rather

pull a trick on a pal, than eat almost. Next best he likes to watch another perform tricks of magic. So when Gray and Bernie wanted to entertain their scout troop at a magician's party, we buried our misgivings and gave the go-ahead signal.

The invitations they extended over the telephone were at least unique. "Houdini's nephew will be at our house on Friday evening. Drop around. He's going to show a few clever tricks. If you know a good stunt to show him brings it along."

This was strictly a no-refusal party. Each guest accepted and arrived promptly at seven. The guests were met at the door by two young magicians one was attired in a Prince Albert coat and silk topper the other wore the traditional Hindu garb. A turkish towel wound around his head served as a turban and a gay bathrobe covered his regular clothes.

The first two boys to arrive were handcuffed together. Subsequent arrivals were also handcuffed in pairs. This was done by tying each end of a forty inch string to one boy's wrists. Then another string of equal length is passed between the first boy's string and his body. Then the ends of this string are tied to his partner's wrists, linking the two boys together. The couples are to separate themselves without breaking or untying the strings.

This was an intriguing game on which the boys concentrated earnestly. It was not too long until one lad stumbled onto the solution.
