Then Sholbach bowed
slightly and smiled reassuringly,
From that time until near the close of

The usual tricks had been performed
and he began his concluding feat.
A man was summoned from among the
audience to go upon the stage. Then
he removed his collar and necktie and
coat. Then Sholbach appeared with a
large knife, and suddenly seizing the
man plunged it into his throat. The
man screamed and struggled, The
blood poured from the wound. The
audience, convinced as they were that
the man was a confederate, were silent
with horror. Presently Sholbach
whirled the knife around with a quick
movement, and then held up the man’s
head. A murmur of horror ran through
the audience, The body was removed
and the Professor treated the audience
to a three munute lecture. He was in-
terrupted by the appearance at the
other end of the hall of the man who
had been decapitated, alive and smiling.
The audience heaved a sigh of relief
and then awarded the successful magi-
clan a round of applause,
