The magician announces that recent tests have proved that inanimate, as well as animate objects, can be controlled through hypnotism. Showing an ordinary salt shaker, he removes the top. Holding it at his fingertips, the magician “hypnotizes” the top and commands it to “pour salt.” Turing the top over, salt immediately streams forth. After five seconds or so, the top is turned upright. More hypnotic gestures are made and again salt pours from the top! After ten seconds of this second pouring, the top is uprighted, and the bottom part of the shaker is picked up, completely emptied, and the top is replaced. The empty shaker is turned over and salt keeps pouring. Includes the instructions. Some wear, else in good condition.
