One of Professor [John] Moon's most astonishing experiments,
consisted of holding a watch suspended from a short chain at arm's length, and allowing anyone in the pit to pull pistol and blaze away
at the word fire,
whereupon the watch would most unconscionably disappear. An individual who had attended several evenings and witnessed the experiment,
suspected, in the classic language of the times, that there was something of shenanigan
in it.
