Another type of tearing is that of a string
of d a n c i n g g i r l s , o r s k e l e t o n s , b u t this is r a t h e ?
h a c k n e y e d , s o to be d i f f e r e n t we suggest a string of s a n d w h i c h
m e n as shown below w i t h t h o i r a d v e r t i s i n g b o a r d s .
For this the folding is d i f f e r e n t . Take a s t r i p a b o u t 10" wide
and about 30" long a,d fold into 2-|" w i d e p l e a t s . Cut a w a y the
shaded p o r t i o n , m a k i n g sure y o u leave the tip of the s a n d w i c h
boards, l o f t , s o they join as s h o w n i n the i l l u s t r a t i o n .
Other designs of this type are alos given,tho c l o w n in partic-
ular makes a goqd s t r e a m e r , e a s y to c u t . W i t h these two designs
y o u leave the folds square (10 )
If y o u w a n t a line to guide y o u i n cutting or tearing,pencil
the d e s i g n on the folded paper and t h e n open out. A pencilled

Take a square of newspaper and fold it u shown

in the first illustration. The folded paper, shown in
the second drawing, is now cut as shown. You will
..v.itc that the cuts do not go right through, and each
.. ysu cut, you do so from the opposite 6ide.
When you have completed the cutting, open out
the paper carefully, then turn it inside out, pull the
point downwards, and you will have the pretty effect
shown in the final drawing. If these are cut out ct
coloured' paper they will make very effective decora-
t.ons for a party, and they can be draped around an
electric light globe.

T h e A f g h a n Band trick is one rarely s e e n n o w a d a y s . I n a p a p e r act it is

only one band is u s e d .
EFFECT. Performer calls a t t e n t i o n to a band of p a p e r , a p p a r e n t l y totally

o n e and gives tho other to a helper,whoc is told to "do as I do"
P e r f o r m e r cuts d o w n the centre of the paper,and the assistant does tho
same. BUT,the assistant now holds t w o seperate rings,whereas the
p e r f o r m e r has o $ l y one ring TWICE THE SIZE. Ho a g a i n cuts this d o w n
t h e centre a third time and obtains two rings linked together.
A n y b o d y w h o follows tho e x p l a n a t i o n wshould have no d i f f i c u l t y

before exhibiting result,performer breaks tho u n c u t p o r t i o n The
main p o r t i o n of the trick is d p n e . . T h e band has only to be cut a
