By Permission. Mr. Saunders will exhibit his Dexterity and
Grand Deception, at his house of Mr. Israel Jacobs, at the
Bunch of Grapes, in Third-Street.-- He has had the honour of
performing before his Excellency the Earl of Dunmore, now
Governor of Virginia, his Excellency Robert Eden, Esq; and
most of the nobility and gentry in Great-Britain and
America, and in particular in the capital cities. He
performs a variety of new, astonishing and entertaining
performances, by dexterity of hand, surpassing every thing
of the kind that has hitherto been seen, or attempted, on
this side of the Atlantic, which will be exhibited in a
number of surprising instances, deceiving the eye of the
nicest observer, and appear in a manner super-natural.---
Mr. Saunders has been honoured with the greatest public
applause by all the nobility who has seen his great
performance in Europe, America, and the West Indies; and is
allowed to be the most astonishing proficient in the art of
clean conveyance, that ever attempted an exhibition of its
kind, without descending to the low tricks of cups and
balls, ribbons, &c.--- Mr. Abraham Benjamin will likewise
(between Mr. Saunders's performances) exhibit several
curious Balances: He has had the honour of performing before
the King of Denmark, and all the nobility of that Kingdom,
and was allowed to be the most astonishing of its kind. He
likewise will perform the Dexterity, in a different manner
from Mr. Saunders. To begin on Wednesday evening the 21st
of this instant, and continue Mondays, Wednesdays, and
Saturdays.
. . . N.B. Any person desirous of having a private
performance at his own house, will be waited on by giving a
day's notice to Mr. Saunders, at Mr. Abraham Franks's, in
Water-Street.
