Number 15, dated August 7, 1942, opens with two by J.G. Thompson and Bruce Elliott under the title, Blackout Magic. Both require the performance space to be darkened. While interesting ideas, I wonder about the practicality.
Gaglet Department begins with a bowl production ruse from Hang Ping Chien. A three lota bowl production from Rush Ling Toy (Lafoette) follows. The column concludes with a sweater gag from Danny Morris.
The final submission, The Coin Dowser, is from J.G. Thompson and Bruce Elliott. It’s another blackout stunt. Blacking out a room must have been easier during the Second World War.
The Back Room has news of the new Laurel and Hardy film, “A-Haunting We Will Go” which features the talents of Dante. Elliott rants about armchair amateurs dictating ethics to professionals and other assorted news.
