The "extinguisher" trick

Grafik

Bildunterschrift: "Here you perceive 'fugitive slave circular' number two - number one having disappeared already! I now take this cone into my hand; - it resembles an extinguisher, and is called a 'royal commission.' I place it over the 'circular,' and - hey, presto! - On raising it again, 'circular' number two will have disappeared!"
