THE SECRETS OF MAGIC

The Mystery Whistle



A small toy whistle on the end of a string suddenly begins to sound. It can be used to answer questions, by whistling once for "yes" and twice for "no".



The Secret:





The audience never suspects that the magician has a whistle concealed in each arm. A small tube connects the hidden whistle to a hollow rubber ball, causing the whistle to sound.

People are much worse at detecting the source of a sound than they might believe. The audience will honestly feel they hear the sound coming from the whistle on the string.

This is another trick you can use yourself, courtesy of the Great Mysto!
