The trick he had been prepared to perform was his magic decanter trick where he "poured any drink you can name from this one magic decanter". Her response was to pour White Rock Sparkling Water into the drinks he was preparing and make them taste better. The last picture shows the magician talking to Psyche the next morning as he walks his rabbits and he asks her to join her act which she refuses but suggests that he use White Rock "for only a few cents more than ordinary mixers".
