ple). The magician returns and asks, “What time is it?” To which question the leader responds with a sentence which contains the answer, “Well, Concentrate, it’ll come to you.” “ Three O’clock was chosen,” says the magician. How it is Done: Each of the first twelve letters of the alphabet repre sents an hour: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 A B C D E F G H I J K L The letter beginning the second word of the leader’s answer is to represent the hour decided upon. ( “ C” is the example.) An exact hour must always be used. 3. M AG IC CITIES What Happens: The leader asks his assistant to leave the group while the name of a certain city is selected. To illustrate, let’s use Bethlehem for the example. The assistant returns and the leader asks, “ Is it Chicago?” “No.” “ Is it Berlin?” “No.” “ Is it New York?” “No.” “ Is it Bethlehem?” “Yes,” the assistant finally answers. How it’s Done: The mystery city is the one mentioned immediately after a double word city such as New York, Los Angeles, San Diego, etc. It is always necessary for the leader to have a wide awake assistant for this type of activity. General clues can be given to the group as they try to guess how the “Magical” tricks are per formed. Excitement and suspense builds up as some in the group figures out the clues, participating as assist ants and “magicians.”

What Happens: The leader states that his assistant is able to read signs on the floor made with a stick, and he agrees to send him out of the room while the group decides upon a word. How it is Done: The leader spells out the word in code as follows: One tap represents the vowel “ A,” two “ E,” three “ I,” four “ O,” and five “U.” The consonants are the first letters of the first words of each sentence the leader says when the assistant returns. For instance, to spell out “ cat” the leader, while making all sorts of mys terious markings on the floor, will say, “ Can you get this word?” Then he will tap once for the letter “ A.” Fin ally, he’ll say, “ Think you have it?” The assistant will easily figure out the secret word, “ CAT.” 2.
