The Popular Coffee Trick and
How It 1$ Performed.
METHODS OF THE MAGICIAN.
Changing Whits Paper Into Milk. Blue
Paper Into Mocha and Bran Into Cut
Sugar la Comparatively Easy Whan
You Have Been Shewn the Way.
A trick always popular with the pro
fessional conjurer la that known as
the "coffee trick." though some high
falutin title, as. for InMance. “Mar
about Mocha." Is better for a pro
gram. it has the advantage, too, of
not conveying any Idea of what the
trick la to be. The trick Is as suita
ble for the drawing room as for the
stage, and an amateur with a little
practl<-e may do It easily, Remember,
with a little practice, for, like every
thing In conjuring, not only a little
but sometimes a great deal of practice
Is neeenwiry If the performer desires
to do his tricks with ease aud skill
and so as to bewilder his audience.
When about to present this trick the
performer has on a table three wooden
boxes, a large goblet shaped glass jar
and two German silver “shakers" or
cups, such as are used In mixing lem-
<>u Juice, Ice. etc., for a glass of lem
In one of the boxes Is a

quantity of bran, tn another some
pieces of chopped up white paper and
In the third a similar lot of blue pa
per. These, with two pieces of black
velvet, each about nine inches square,
and n pa|>er cylinder, are all that ap
pear to tie used In the trick. Picking
up one shaker, the performer tills it
with white paper and immediately
|H>urs It back Into the box. Again he
dl|u< the shaker Into the Imx aud. with
a shoveling motion, tills it aud stands
It on a table so that every one may
see It. The other shaker he tills In
the same way. but with the blue pa
per. Finally the glass jar is tilled with
brnu aud stood on a table by Itself.
Over one shaker Is spread one of the
velvet squares and on top of It Is
placed a small, round metal plate. The
other shaker is covered with the sec
ond velvet square, but without auy
metal plate.
"Itemember," says the performer,
"this cup Is tilled with white pil|ier
and that one with blue,” and. pulling
the velvet piece off one cup. he [siura
from It Into a small pitcher about a
pint of milk—"The utllk of human
kludtiess ns extracted from the dally
press." Removing-1he metal plate and
the velvet from the second cup. lie
pours from It Into the first cup ••steam
ing Misha coffee; no grounds for
complaint." Picking up tin* paper cyl
inder. he drops It over the up|>er part
of the glass jar, and. lifting II up al
most Immediately, It Is found that the
bran la gone and the Jar is filled with
lump sugar.
It Is a showy trick which Is general
ly followed-by applause, that sweetest
of music to a performer. Here is the
explanation'
In ench box of tmper ts a duplicate
shaker, one tilled wPb milk, the other
with coffee Fitted Into the month of
each shaker Is n shallow metal saucer,
the edges Haring out so ea to rest on
the mouth of the cup. At one point on
the edge of ench saucer Is soldered a
semicircle of stiff wire about the size
of a dime, so that the performer may
easily grasp It. On each saucer is
glued some bits of the pa|>er with
which the «halter is sup|H»«ed to be
HI led. These shakera stun«’ upright In
the l»»x In such position that the wire
piece of the saucer will be toward the
jierformer when be is ready to remove
the velvet cover. As he shovels the
paper Into the shaker he leaves that
one In the box. grasps the other tilled
with milk or coffee and brings It out
some of the loose bits of pa|ier cling
ing round the top. These he brushes
off csreleasly sn<l In doing so. a lien
necessary, adjust» the shaker so that
the wire finger piece will be In tbe
proper positloo. In covering the shak

velvet rovers so that the thumb and
the third ami fourth fingers are under
the cover, and with these he ca'cbcs
