ILLY gilly gilly," remarked the magician behind the counter, and the green handker- chief in his hand suddenly blushed scarlet. "Gilly gilly grilly," he repeated, helping himself to a bright new penny from mid-air.
"It's all very simple." he went on. "Take the penknife trick. The movement of the hand generates electricity in the atmosphere which works on the surface of the penknife, thereby extracting the colour from it and leaving a plain white surface, and then-" "Thank you," said one of the audience in front of the counter. "All very, very simple; and, of course, there aren't two penknives. Oh, no!"
Must know the magic Words
"No. But you need magic words, gilly gilly gilly," said the magician. "Or, for the second best, abracadabra. And now let's look at the Magic Dice."
He paused to take breath. "Don't you dance? Don't you sing? Never mind, they may laugh when you sit down at the pimo, but you'll-be-the-lion-of-any-party with this simple little trick." He began waving his arms in the air.

The other way is to fill your ples so full that they spring a leak while being cooked. In this instance the substance of the mincemeat may be left, but all the juices and flavours will have evaporated in the baking tin.
So obviously more than half the art of making mince ples is to cram them with mince right up danger line, but not beyond.
