Samuel's Mystic Percolator
A glass percolator (two gallon size) is used for this experiment.
Percolator is shown to company perfectly empty, covered with a
shallow silver cover, and given to a lady or gentleman to hold
upright. A large silk handkerchief is thrown over it to exclude the
light. Performer now empties a cornucopia of paper roses, which
were a few moments before mysteriously produced from cone,
right into tube of his blunderbuss, (large size tube) and shoots
flowers into the percolator, where they are found as soon as the
handkerchief is removed from it.
Flowers are concealed inside silver lid of percolator (on principle
of coin cork) so that pressing a small projecting pin on top of
cover when throwing handkerchief over it, the trap door bottom
gives way and the spring flowers fall out, a spiral spring closing
door again.

Samuel's Magic Squeezers
Performer, during the performance of some trick, requires a glass
of wine, taking a deck of cards in hand he squeezes them tightly
several times until a whole glass of wine is extracted from them.
Secret--There is a faked deck, picked up with four or five cards
in front to spread out to prove genuineness. Remove pellet of
wax or wooden plug from air hole and wine runs out of small
hole in bottom of fake. The fake pack is made of tin, having
nicely painted edges and real cards glued on front and back. Fill
fake with a small fine-tubed syringe. A very effective trick used
in conjunction with flying glass of water or wine.

Samuel's Wine Tassels
Two tassels hang in any appropriate place on the stage,
apparently for mere drapery effect. They are made to resemble
the ordinary heavy, every-day tassel, used to tie up heavy
curtains, etc. The body of tassel is hollow spun metal of
sufficient capacity to contain a full glass of wine. Air hole in top
of fake. Plug in bottom drawn out of fake by performer pulling
smartly on thread which hangs below tassel, at a very short
distance thread is not visible.
An extraordinary improvement can be made by having a rubber
tube covered to represent cord, connected with one of these
tassels by an opening made in the top of the hollow receptacle.
Rubber tube fitting over a hollow metal connection.

Samuel's Bloodstone Wonder
A large white stone is inspected. Performer remarks that the old
adage declares that you cannot get blood out of a stone, but this
is now made possible by the Charmed bloodstone. Here he taps
the stone several times with the hollow metal wand, at third blow
wand and stone are lowered over a tray on table and blood pours
from the stone into a glass tumbler on tray. Blood comes from
wand. Blood is then vanished by vanishing glass of water, etc.
Stone is wrapped in paper and the package exchanged on
servante for one containing a loaf of bread of same size, this is
placed on run down. Performer fires wand at package, opens it
and states that Satan has commanded the stone to change to
bread. This bread can contain previously borrowed articles, or
cards to be produced from it.

Samuel's Handkerchief Tassel
Tassel is made similar to wine tassel, except a slight alteration in
base, this one. being perfectly open. When performer desires a
large and beautiful silk handkerchief, he simply puts his finger
through a loop at end of a silk thread hanging a few inches below
the fringe of tassel and while calling attention to something in the
air, he makes a downward sweep of the right hand instantly
disclosing the handkerchief, flag, glove, etc., silk ribbons or
anything else capable of being hidden beneath its mystic recess.
