Here is another illusion. First we see a magician stand his assistant up-right and using his arm for a pump handle causes a volume of water of issue from his mouth equal to that from a pump. He fills a large vessel of water in this manner and while the assistant holds it aloft, is suddenly catches fire. He then produces several fish in like manner which his master places in an aquarium near at hand and they can be plainly seen swimming around. They then take two large scarfs and fling them in the air several times, twisting them in numerous two beautiful girls, who disappear as mysteriously as they came. All this and more is seen in this wonderful magical picture.
