Upside Down or The Human Flies

A PARTY of four are practising table-turning, when a professor of spiritualism is shown into the room, and offers to explain. His umbrella stands itself upright on the floor, on it he places his hat, which he makes by a few passes to fly on to the ceiling. He then explains that he will invert the party in the same manner. Making passes over them they instantly fly upwards to the ceiling, where they hang head downwards endeavouring to reach the floor by jumping down to it, and producing the most laughable effects. Finding themselves unable to reach the floor, they commence playing games on the ceiling.
