C, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 11, 1934 NUMBER 140 -ii;li 4 JOHN MULHOLLAND ENTERTAINS YTffl FEATSOF E4GIC Weil-Known Necromancer Ap pears as .First Performer on Student Entertainment Series for Spring Quarter; Speaks on Eastern Illusion. EXPLAINS' SOME TRICKS John Mulholland, professor .and magician, appeared before a group of approximately 1,500 people in Memorial hall last Tiight in the first program of the Student Entertainment series of the spring quarter. Mulholland was introduced by 'Dr. J. P. Harland of the archaeology department. The magician, Dr. Harland stated, is a member of magic societies in many of the countries of the world besides being editor of The Sphinx an esoteric mag ic magazine. Demonstrations The program was begun by a iemonstration to prove that the Ihand is not faster than the eye. 3Iulholland failed to prove his jpoint to the satisfaction of the audience. His line "of patter was mainly confined to an historical account of famous tricks of the east, with many references to the witch doctors and modern American fakes, and with pseu do-explanations. His illusions included many of the better known handker- chief tricks and a number of card tricks. He also presented some of the classical illusions, such as the Chinese ring trick and the Chinese rope trick. Most unsuccessful, perhaps, -was the bird-in-the-cage illu sion. Persons in the front por tion of the auditorium had, for the most rart. no dimculty m fathoming the secret. In all probability this was due to the cigarette advertisement expos ing this fake.
