If the circle is very large, two rings may be slipped upon the cord,
and two players placed in the center together.
A small key may be used instead of a ring, while still another variation
is to have the concealed object a small whistle with a ring attached.
When this is adopted, an amusing phase of the game is to secretly
attach a string to the whistle and fasten this to the back of the
player in the center by means of a bent pin at the other end of the
string. Then while feigning to pass the whistle from hand to hand, it
is occasionally seized and blown upon by some one in the ring, toward
whom the victim is at that moment turning his back, causing that
individual to be greatly puzzled.
SHADOW BLUFF
A sheet being stretched across one end of the room, one of the players
being seated upon a low stool facing it, and with his eyes fixed upon
it. The only light in the room must be a lamp placed upon a table in
the center of the room. Between this lamp and the person on the stool,
the players pass in succession, their shadows being thrown upon the
sheet in strong relief. The victim of the moment endeavors to identify
the other players by their respective shadows, and if he succeeds the
detected party must take his place.
