All at the Magic Help Desk Center

Several magical cards are drawn from the pack by the audience. They are returned, the magical pack is shuffled, and placed in an ordinary paper or pasteboard case, such as cards now usually come in. This the performer at the magical help desk then holds up, and as the cards are called for, they rise, one at a time.

Magic Trick Preparation
The case, which is the ordinary affair, has a slit cut in its face, lengthwise, as shown in Fig. Magic 1. This is imperceptible, for it is merely a slit made with a sharp knife, not a slot. At the lower end of it is a tiny hole. At Figs.Magic 2 and Magic 3 is shown a little concavedisc of metal; on the convexside of this is soldered a needlepoint, so that it somewhat resembles a small drawingpin. The concaveside is filled with adhesive wax, and the whole disc is painted a flesh color. This is stuck on the tip of theforefinger.
.
When the drawn cards are replaced in the magic pack, they are brought to the top, by means of the "pass" and the pack is placed in the case with the top cards next to that part of the case in which is the slit. The flap of the case is turned back or upward, so that it will be out of the way.
.
Holding the magic case with thethumb on one side, theforefinger at the back and the otherfingers at the other side, the magical cards are raised, as called for, by the pin point which enters the slit, the little hole at the end making the entrance easy.
