Ventriloquist Nichols Defies Tailor with Expanding Chest
A Savannah young man named Nichols, a ventriloquist's pupil turned star, ordered coats from a tailor. He inflated his chest to a remarkable 11 inches, causing two coats to fit only one after another. The tailor, baffled, learns Nichols can stretch his torso to absurd sizes, leaving him astonished by the astonishing illusion and the man’s humor about life.
