[QUOTE="heirodule, post: 1220947, member: 4081"] These are the jokes I don't get: Acid / Solid Fog - A pinch of dried, powdered peas combined with powdered animal hoof "Thick as pea soup", plus animal hoof is used to make gelatin. Antipathy - A lump of alum soaked in vinegar a very sour taste you woduln't like Darkvision - Either a pinch of dried carrot [Vitamin A?] or an agate Carrots are good night vision. Daze - A pinch of wool or similar substance "wool over your eyes" Detect Thoughts - A copper piece ["a penny for your thoughts?"] yep: penny for thoughts. Disintegrate - A lodestone and a pinch of dust Displacement - A small strip of leather twisted into a loop A Moebius strip. Hold Person [H. Monster is similar] - A small, straight piece of iron A rigid object like the held subject Invisibility - An eyelash encased in a bit of gum arabic glueing the eyes shut. Persistent Image (and other Image spells) - A bit of fleece and several grains of sand fleece: "getting fleeced" Repulsion - A pair of small iron bars attached to two small canine statuettes, one black and one white Little toy magnetic dogs that jump apart. Rope Trick - Powdered corn extract and a twisted loop of parchment a starched moebius stip. Secret Page - Powdered herring scales and will-o’-wisp essence Red herring? See Invisibility - A pinch of talc and a small sprinkling of powdered silver Spreading powder ove the invisible subject? Summon Monster - A tiny bag and a small (not necessarily lit) candle The camp game of "snipe hunting", which is to make kids look ridiculous trying to make non-existent snipes jump into their bags by wiggling their flashlights on the groud and whooping.
