required, the performer
taking care to hide one of the set, not a double, in his pocket. The
remaining dominoes should be shuffled, and placed according to the
ordinary rules of domino games, and the performer undertakes to tell,
without seeing them, the two numbers forming the extremes of the line,
set during his absence from the room. The numbers on the extreme ends
of the domino line will be exactly the same as the numbers on the
domino which the performer has in his pocket. If he is asked to repeat
the trick, he should be sure to change the hidden domino, or he may
chance to be found out.

TO TELL THE AGE OF ANY PERSON
Prepare a set of cards by making a copy of the tables given here. Hand
them to the person whose age you wish to ascertain, and ask him to
name the cards on which his age appears.
If you then add together the first number on each of the cards he
names, the total will be the age required.
