A Good Trick — if You Can Do It CHUCK ACREE JHOSE WORDS the magician recites before pulling a live rabbit out of a hat must have something to do with it; for Chuck Acree, the Talkative Oklahomon on WLS, Chicago, uses a lot of words per minute and can do the same thing. Instead of using a silk hat, however, Acree gets rabbits from an empty candy box. (above). The rabbit trick is only one that Acree, who is a member of the American Society of Magicians, can do. He knows card tricks by RADIO VARIETIES — MARCH the dozen; he can make handkerchiefs change color right before your eyes; he makes things disappear into thin air — in fact, he knows all the high class effects of the master magicians. Acree conducts "Everybody's Hour", "K-I-D-S Club", and "Some thing to Talk About" on WLS, and also broadcasts. "The Man on the Farm" from the Quaker Oats experimental farm near Libertyville, Illinois, a program heard on WLS and transcribed for rebroadcast on many stations throughout the country. He often entertains the crowd at the farm before and after the broadcast with his tricks of magic, and with another stunt he has developed, a rapid memory feat. Acree let's someone write down a list of 20 objects as he looks on; then the list is covered, and the audience can ask him any number. He tells them what object is written beside that number; or they can name any of the objects and he will tell them what number it is. Page 5
