This is a trick put out by Harry Baron. The performer shows a packet of cards with a picture of the ‘Little Magi’ printed on each one. The Magi is holding two slates. One of the little cards is signed both sides by a spectator, yet a message mysteriously appears on one of the slates. The instructions provide a routine in which the Magi card is placed in an envelope before anyone has seen what is written on it. The envelope is placed in the middle of a pack of cards. When the pack is separated and the envelope opened, it turns out that the Magi has written the name of the card next to where the envelope was placed. Complete with instructions from Penshaw Novelties. Penshaw Novelties was probably a company which Harry Baron owned, or was involved in.
