One of the greatest of black art pictures. The conjurer appears before the audience, with his head in its proper place.

You then see all three of his heads, which are exact duplicates, upon the table at one time, while the conjurer again stands before the audience with his head perfectly intact, singing in unison with the three heads upon the table.
