Musical Buff
Station a person in each corner of the apartment. Then blindfold one of the party, and lead him to the center.
The master of the ceremonies points to each of the four in succession, and each says in a clear separate tone the word “Come.”
When the word has been said by each in turn, the blind man endeavors to find his way towards the person who spoke first.
Magic Hieroglyphics
For this seemingly mysterious achievement a confederate is required. He must know that—
| A | is shown by | one tap, | because | it is the | first vowel. |
| E | „ | two taps, | „ | „ | second vowel. |
| I | „ | three taps, | „ | „ | third vowel. |
| O | „ | four taps, | „ | „ | fourth vowel. |
| U | „ | five taps, | „ | „ | fifth vowel. |
Consonants are revealed by means of sentences, which the wizard speaks in a natural and unostentatious manner.
The confederate is banished from the room while the party decide upon the word he shall be called upon to guess. Monosyllables are preferable.
When he returns the wizard is armed with a wand, by means of which he proceeds to make imaginary pictures on the carpet.
