  1. Hallow Eve Tricks

    Share Share Post
    You get a tub and half fill it with water and put the tub in the middle of the floor; you put a sixpence in the bottom and tie the boys hands behind their backs, then they go to the tub and keep searching for the sixpence with their mouths, they drink nearly half the water before they can get the sixpence. Joe Green got it after half an hour.
