“Now, ladies and gentlemen, ’said the conjuror, ‘having shown your that the cloth is absolutely
empty, I will proceed to take from it a bowl of goldfish. Presto !”

All around the hall people were saying, “Oh, how wonderful ! How does he do it?”

But the quick man on the front seat said in a big whisper to the people near him. “He-Had-it-up-
his-sleeve.”

Then the people nodded brightly at the Quick man and said, “oh, of course”; and everybody
whispered round the hall, “He-Had-it-up-his-sleeve.”

“My next trick,” said the conjuror, “is the famous Hindostanee rings. You will notice that the rings
are apparently separate; at a blow they all join (clang, clang, clang)—Presto !”

There was a general buzz of stupefaction till the Quick man was heard to whisper, “He-must-

“I, will now, “he continued, “show you a most amusing trick by which I am enabled to take any
number of eggs from a hat. Will some gentleman kindly lend me his hat? Ah, thank you—presto!

was wonderful. Then the quick man whispered along the front bench. “ He-has –a-hen-up-his-
sleeve, ”and all the people whispered it on. “He-has-a-lot-of-hens-up-his-sleeve.”

The egg trick was ruined.

It went on like that all through. It transpired from the whispers of the Quick Man that the
