ILLY gilly gilly," remarked the magician behind the counter, and the green handker- chief in his hand suddenly blushed scarlet. "Gilly gilly gilly," 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 piano, but you'll be the lion of any party with this simple little! trick." He began waving his arms in the air.

The magician lives at a shop in New Oxford-street, where you can buy anything from a demon double box illusion at £30 to a sixpenny lump of sugar with a false By on it

Letting them Leak

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.

HAM

How to cook it and

how to use it up

N the old days an uncooked ham was quite a usual Christmas present. The cook would soak it and bake it for 24-48 hours, according to the size and curing.

But now that our kitchens and ovens are so much smaller and our time more limited, we prefer to receive our Christmas ham ready cooked from the grocer.

Why not give your husband one for a present? Nearly all men enjoy a good hamı,
