of black walnut, the whole thing about 1-1/4 inches in diameter, with a
metal hook on the back so that it may be slipped over edge of the vest
pocket. Expose to view your New Electric Bell, when your friend will
push the button expecting to hear it ring. As soon as he touches it, you
will see some of the liveliest dancing you ever witnessed. The Electric
Button is heavily charged and will give a smart shock when the button is
pushed.

THE FLUTOPHONE.--A new musical instrument, producing the sweetest dulcet
tones of the flute. The upper part of the instrument is placed in the

gently upon it you can play any tune desired as easily as whistling. But
little practice is required to become a finished player. It is made
entirely of metal, and will last a lifetime. We send full instructions
with each instrument.
Price, 15c., or 2 for 25c., by mail, postpaid.

THE MAGIC CARD BOX.
One of the best and cheapest tricks for giving parlor or stage
exhibitions. The trick is performed as follows: You request any two
persons in your audience to each select a card from an ordinary pack of
cards, you then produce a small handsome box made to imitate pebbled
leather, which anyone may examine as closely as they will. You now ask
one of the two who have selected cards to place his or her card inside
the box, which being done, the lid is shut, and the box placed on the
table. You then state that you will cause the cards to disappear and
upon opening the box the card has vanished and the box found empty. The
other card is now placed in the box; the lid is again closed and when
the box is opened the first card appears as strangely as it went. Other
tricks can be performed in various ways. You may cause several cards to
disappear after they are placed in the box, and then you can cause them
all to appear at once. You may tear a card up, place it in the box, and
on lifting the cover it will be found whole and entire. In fact, nearly
every trick of appearance and disappearance can be done with the Magic
Card Box.
Full printed instructions by which anyone can perform the different
tricks sent with each box.
Price 20 cents, by mail postpaid.
