Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
105
Second
Method.--Glance,
as
before,
at
the
bottom
card.
Place
the
cards
behind
you,
and
name
the
card
you
have
just
seen.
Passing
the
right
hand
behind
you,
palm
the
top
card,
and
then
taking
hold
of
the
bottom
card
(the
one
you
have
just
named)
face
outwards,
with
the
two
first
fingers
and
thumb
of
the
same
hand,
bring
it
forward
and
throw
it
on
the
table.
Pause
for
a
moment
before
you
throw
it
down,
as
if
asking
the
company
to
verify
the
correctness
of
your
assertion,
and
glance
secretly
at
the
card
which
is
curled
up
in
your
palm.
Again
place
your
hands
behind
you,
call
the
name
of
the
card
you
last
palmed,
and
palm
another.
You
can,
of
course,
continue
the
trick
as
long
as
you
please,
each
time
naming
the
card
which
you
palmed
at
the
last
call.
You
should
take
care
to
have
a
tolerably
wide
space
between
yourself
and
your
audience,
in
which
case,
with
a
very
little
management
on
your
part,
there
is
little
fear
of
their
discovering
the
secret
of
the
palmed
card.
You
should
not
be
in
too
great
a
hurry
to
name
the
card
you
have
just
seen,
or
the
audience
may
suspect
that
you
gained
your
knowledge
in
the
act
of
bringing
forward
the
card
you
last
named.
To
negative
this
idea,
you
should
take
care
first
to
bring
forward
again
the
right
hand,
manifestly
empty,
and
do
your
best
to
simulate
thought
and
mental
exertion
before
naming
the
next
card.
