Ladies and gentleman, you've no doubt heard that the art of conjuring depends upon the quickness of the hand.

That's as it may be, but there is a great deal that can't be accounted for in that way.

Ladies and gentlemen, you see this coin--or rather pendant, as I should say.

I am going to make it fly from my left hand to my right.
One, two, three--pass! Here it is.

Did you see it go?
No.
