y raise
right hand and lower left; as you do so, seize the corner of the yellow
handkerchief which protrudes through one of waistcoat buttonholes. (I
have a small black bead sewn to the corner to make this easy.) As soon
as yellow handkerchief is clear, the left hand should have reached
buttonhole and now seizes last corner; then a quick turn (ropewise)
rolls up the yellow in the white. Pull hands apart gently, retaining
end of yellow handkerchief in one hand and the end of white in the
other, and let the audience see both, one in each hand. Now roll these
up in the hands, "balling" them well, and hold over candle (or a
Stodare egg can be used, making all safe). After a minute, show egg,
saying, "It's getting hot!"--change from hand to hand, thus changing
for real original egg, which you had just before palmed from vest or
pocket, and hand for examination. The final vanish is, of course, into
the _profonde_ and needs no explanation.
