Student: Why, he's in Canada. Voice (sharply): No he ain't, he's here; but be quick. Student (opening the lid): Perhaps he's come by the underground railroad? Hallo! Voice (not so muffled, as described in directions): Now then, give us a hand. Student (closing the lid or door sharply): No, I won't. Voice (as before): Have pity (Tom, or Jack, or Mr. ----. as the case may be), or I shall be choked. Student: I don't believe you are what you say. Voice: Why don't you let me out and see before I am dead? Student (opening and shutting the lid and varying the voice accordingly): Dead! not you. When did you leave Canada? Voice: Last week. Oh! I am choking. Student: Shall I let him out? (opening the door.) There's no one here. VOICE II. The second voice is the more easy to be acquired. It is the voice by which all ventriloquists make a supposed person speak from a long distance, or from, or through the ceiling. In the first place, with your back to the audience, direct their attention to the ceiling by pointing to it or by looking intently at it. Call loudly, and ask some question, as though you believed some person to be concealed there. Make your own voice very distinct, and as near the lips as possible, inasmuch as that will help the illusion. Then in exactly the same tone and pitch answer; but, in order that the same voice may seem to proceed from the point indicated, the words must be formed at the back part of the roof of the mouth. To do this the lower jaw must be drawn back and held there, the mouth open, which will cause the palate to be elevated and drawn nearer to the pharynx, and the sound will be reflected in that cavity, and appear to come from the roof. Too much attention cannot be paid to the manner in which the breath is used in this voice. When speaking to the supposed person, expel the words with a deep, quick breath.
