Solution: Hats Off! - When your opponents give up, duck under the table and make loud drinking noises. Take your time on this. Come out from under the table and announce that you
drank the drink. Your disbelieving friends will lift the hat to have a look, whereupon, you quickly grab the glass and drink the contents - without touching the hat!

Pat said, "It's like this, y'see... I saw a chap who I thought was Mulligan, and he saw a chap that he thought was me. And when we got up to one another... it was neither of us."

A MAGIC FUN TRICK - If not obvious then the 'SECRET' is shown below!
Hopping Heart
Effect: A small red Valentine heart is on the performer's right hand finger. With a quick snap of the wrist, the heart jumps from one finger to another. The effect is repeated several times.
Secret: Wrap a paper label with a red heart drawn on it, around your tip of the middle finger, or for a nicer effect you can stick a small red heart sticker on the fingernail instead.
Explain that you have the powers to make the heart visibly jump from finger to finger. With your right hand, place your second finger with the heart and your third finger on your left palm, curling your first and last fingers into the palm. Quickly bring your right hand up and down about six to ten inches, slapping your fingers back on your palm. While you are doing this motion, simultaneously extend your first finger and curl in your third finger. Repeat this motion in reverse, extending your third finger and curling your first, making the heart appear as if it is jumping back and forth.
