China’s Reply to Japan

This is yet another torn and restored paper trick put out by Davenports. The paper is restored by the normal method and held vertically. To get the full effect of China’s reply to Japan it is necessary to spin the paper around so that it can be read horizontally. The instructions suggest that for children’s parties, etc, where this finish would be out of place, simply tear and restore the strip, keeping it vertically or upside down all the time. Complete with instructions copyright L.D. For magic collectors who aspire to own one of everything, please note that the box has two variants, as illustrated.
