When the Jadoo-wallah has sat himself down with his bag and baskets in their correct places he usually proceeds to show the following tricks:—

• The cups and balls.
• The bamboo sticks.
• The ring on the stick.
• The ball in the glass box.
• The bunder-boat.
• The bowl of rice.
• The coloured sands.
• The rope trick.
• The egg bag.
• The swastika.
• The dancing duck.
• The mango tree.
• The basket trick.

I will attempt to describe each trick for the benefit of those who have not actually seen them performed, and will then attempt to give a lucid explanation of how these tricks are done.
