"At the new theatre in the Hay market, on Monday next, the 16th instant, is to be seen, a person who performs the several most surprising things following : viz. First he takes a common walking-cane from any of the spectators, and thereon plays the music of every instrument now in use, and likewise sings to surprising perfection. Secondly, he presents you with a common wine-bottle, which any one present may first examine ; this bottle is placed on a table, in the middle of the stage, and he (wi...thout any equivo- cation) goes into it, in the sight of all the spectators and sings in it; during his stay in the bottle, any person may handle it, and see plainly that it does not exceed a common tavern bottle. Those on the stage or in the boxes may come in masked habits (if agreeable to them), and the performer (if desired) will inform them who they are. " The display of these wonders was to occupy two hours and a half. The advertise- ment also promised that the conjuror, after the per- formance, would show to any gentlemen or ladies, for, as Trapbois phrases it, a proper " con-si- de-ra-tion, " the likeness of any deceased friend or relative, with DECEPTION, AND CREDULITY.
