CHAPTER XII
THE MAGIC PEEP SHOW
FIND or make a simple pasteboard box, twelve inches long, ten inches wide and nine inches high, or you can have it a little smaller if you like, for your Magic Peep Show.
| Fig. 147.—Back end of box opening. | Fig. 148.—Slit cut in side of box. |
Cut a large square opening in the end of the box, leaving a margin one-half inch wide at the top and sides ([Fig. 147]). Make a small round hole in the centre of the front of the box, only large enough for one eye to look through, and cut a slit a quarter of an inch wide on each side of the box half an inch from the open end and half an inch from the top; extend the slit to the bottom of the box ([Fig. 148]). [Fig. 149] shows the box with the front, sides, and back cut.
| Fig. 149.—Peep-hole cut in front of box. | Fig. 150.—Peep show ready for slides. |
If the bent-down edges of the box-lid are wide, cut them off within half an inch of the top; then put the lid on the box and it will be ready for the slides ([Fig. 150]).
