註釋From the INTRODUCTION.
The Thing To Do First. We do not ask that you should do at any one performance every one of the tricks which we describe, as it is possible that some of them may not particularly appeal to you. The thing to do is to pick out those which you think are the best and which are suited to your idea of an evening's entertainment. We should certainly recommend that you do each one of the tricks and then pick out those which you think will produce the most fun and amazement.
All Your Tricks Need Not Be Chemical Tricks. We do not recommend that you give an entire performance of just chemical tricks, but pick out one or two of the best and give them in connection with your evening's entertainment with some of the other Gilbert Magic Series.
How to Give a Chemical Magic Entertainment. First, have a table (see Fig. 1) with a depression or shelf in the back where the chemicals can be left open ready for use.
Second arrange your glasses on the table in advance and have those for each trick in a row, so that you will not get them mixed up when performing; or you can actually mark on the table the name of the trick, the number, and the order in which the glasses are to be used. It is important that the articles required for the performance should be arranged beforehand so that there will be no confusion, otherwise your show will not run smoothly. With a little practice and care you will avoid all cause for trouble.
Third, the method herein described of putting the chemicals into the glasses during the performance, is quite unique and simple. For this purpose, use a little wooden wand with a notch at one end in which the chemicals can be picked up and carried unnoticeably and then dropped into the glass or bottle while you are performing. All conjurers and magicians use a wand, so do not fear that anyone in the audience will become suspicious. By gently tapping the bottle with the wand, using this in a perfectly natural manner, the chemicals will drop without in any way your audience becoming aware of what has taken place
