BURMESE MIRACLE BOY
AT THE MASTERTON SHOW. Patrons at Masterton Show are fortunate this year in having the opportunity of seeing Gunga, the Burmese miracle boy, at the Masterton Show next week, as he was imported to. New Zealand to appear at the Wellington Centennial Exhibition. States an' exchange: “Gunga possesses an uncanny gift of making objects appear from space and disappear in a similar manner, and no matter how one tries to fathom the many mysteries, it appears that he manages to perform the impossible. The climax to his act finishes with a display of the Indian rope trick. In this trick he hypnotises a girl before the eyes of his audience, places her on the ground on top of a rope and at his command the rope rises to the top of the tent with the girl lying on top of it, but the miracle is not complete until Gunga makes the rope disappear and the girl is suspended in mid-air with nothing to support her. It is claimed that Gunga is the only person in the world to perform this remarkable feat. Also showing 'in the same large tent is "Cannon Ball Mike,” the monkey dare-devil car-dri-ver, who drives a car on a perpendicular wall.
