Draw on coloured paper with another coloured crayon the likeness of a confederate, and dust the lines with a powder of the same hue as the paper.
Fig. 52.
In your pencil-case have a hard brush, and when you appear to draw, remove the coloured powder.
This trick is used in connection with disappearing feats, where you undertake to make the drawing of a card, a flower, or any vanished article, which you are not supposed to have seen.
A REMBRANDT ETCHING IN FIVE MINUTES.
Smoke a glazed card over a tallow candle till the surface is completely blackened. With a needle scratch out a landscape with a moonlight effect, or a figure in shadow, except on one side, where a strong light falls, after the fashion of the photographs by Solomon, Kliemeck, &c. The weird aspect will be quite like a Doré or Van Schendel.
THE ONE-EARED HARES.
Draw three hares, so that each shall appear to have two ears, while they really have only three ears between them.
