THE CASE OF ARGUS
DEMONSTRATION TO-NIGHT Mr. K. W. Liddle, who attracted attention a short time ago by challenging Argus, the boy pliophet, to perform his feats of mind-reading under special conditions, will give a demonstration at the Operatic Society’s Hall in Grafton Road this evening. He proposes to duplicate exactly the three particular tests featured by Argus on July 4, when a committee from the audience at the Prince Edward Theatre was invited on the stage and challenged to detect fraud in Argus’s performance. Many years have been given by Mr. Liddle to the study of trickery in mental telepathy, and he claims to be able to do all and more than Argus did. At this evening’s demonstration he will endeavour to transfer his thoughts to those of his assistant in precisely the way Mr. Copeland did. “The only difference between my performance and that of Argus,” says Mr. Liddle, “is that I admit it is all done by trickery, Argus did not.” In support, a programme of conjuring, juggling and illusions will be presented by the New Zealand Society of Magicians. Mr. Liddle invites the public to be present.
