The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Miracle Mongers and Their Methods by Harry Houdini: recall, gave a variation to the sword-swallowing
stunt. This was in the later days, and
the act was partly fake and partly genuine.
That is to say, the swallowing was fair enough,
but the sharp razors, after being tested by
cutting hairs, etc., were exchanged for dull
duplicates, in a manner that, in better hands,
might have been effective. This chap belonged
to the great army of unconscious exposers, and
the ``switch'' was quite apparent to all save
the most careless observers.
