FAMILY FUN
An Easy Trick. If you possess a strong magnet you can perform a very startling trick. Hang up a sheet of paper. Draw a hook on it with a pencil. Immediately behind the sheet, at the point where the hook is drawn, place your magnet. Now tell your friends that you can hang on this hook'a key or steel i"ng, or any small iron or steel object with a hole in it! They will not believe you, of course. All you need to do is to place the steel or iron object over the picture of _ the hook and the magnet will hold it. The object will appear to have been hung on the hook. You can have a confederate behind the scene to remove the magnet, and then ask someone to try to hang up the. object. He will fail. Then, saving given a signal, he will replace the magnet, and you can do the trick again.
