"The Miracle" is the title of an act which completely mystified the audience. It introduced Svengali and Trilby. The pair never spoke a word while on the stage, illustrating the power of transmission of thought. "The Miracle" passed through the audience and the titles of songs, new and old, classical and popular, were whispered to him. Without a word he transmitted them to Trilby, who sang and played the numbers requested. A most effective stage setting aided in the general mystification.
