MINIATURE ROD AND RINGS A diminutive but convincing replica of this well known item.

It's requirements are: A small wand, a cardboard or metal tube six inches in height, four inches in diameter, and, in lieu of "rings,' well polished palming coins, six in all, with holes in their center to accommodate the diameter of wand used." Corresponding holes are made through tube two inches below its top edge. Three of the coins are hooked (inside tube) upon a short pin pointing slightly upward, this perforating tube in a position that holes in coins when hooked correspond with hole upon this side of tube. Head of pin projects upon outside of tube, and this should fit loosely to enable it to be withdrawn readily. In presenting, wand and duplicate coins are examined, and tube is picked up with fingers inside covering coins, and shown freely. Wand is inserted through tube and coins, and pin is withdrawn between fingers. Tube is here covered with a silk—or a small plate, (optional) and duplicate coins are vanished en masse or singly by a favorite sleigt or sleights.

The finale and inspection of the simple accessories is familiar routine.
