THE MAGIC PHOTOGRAPHER
Tliis is a line game if the players don’t know the secret. One player is the photographer, and another his assistant. The photographer says he must take someone’s photograph, but he doesn’t want his assistant to know who it is for fear he should take it better than he does, or some silly nonsense like that, so he sends the assistant out of the room. He asks a player to sit or stand perfectly still, and one of them does so; the photographer says the photo is taken, and be calls to his assistant outside the door to come in. The assistant does 60. and immediately tells the photographer which player he has snapped. He is invariably right, and it will greatly puzzle the audience until they know how the assistant has guessed right. The secret is that the photographer will assume the attitude of the person he has photographed, so the assistant with a glance round the room will at once know who it is.
