Shrine of Koomra Sami

Effect--A large cage containing a small one is seen on stage. A person is placed in small cage, when he instantly multiplies into three distinct beings, i.e., his double, his astral being and himself.

Secret--The large cage is six foot high and three and one-half foot square, standing on four small legs with castors. Small cage is in centre of large cage, and is twenty inches square and same height as large cage. Both cages have bars aon all sides running from bottom to top. The large cage has red curtains in front and on both sides, all work on spring rollers. The background of stage is dark green, and the large cage has a curtain at back of same material; behind this curtain are concealed gentleman and lady.

When performer places the man in samll cage, he pulls down red curtains in front and sides of large cage, gentleman and lady now let green curtain at back fly up, move two or three bars aside, and step into cage replacing bars. (This must be done quickly). Performer quickly lets red curtains fly up, opens door of cage, and out step the three persons.

If you wish you can have green curtain on back of cage painted with black stripes to represent the bars of cage, in this case you do away with bars at back of large cage, but you cannot turn cage around after trick, as you can do by using bars.
