Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
108
We
have
had
occasion
more
than
once
to
direct
you
to
turn
round
the
cards,
and
it
will
be
well
for
you
to
know
how
to
do
this
neatly
and
without
exciting
suspicion.
Hold
the
four
cards
fanwise
in
the
left
hand,
the
fingers
behind
and
the
thumb
in
front
of
the
cards.
Having
exhibited
them,
turn
their
faces
towards
yourself,
and
with
the
thumb
and
finger
of
the
right
hand
close
the
fan,
and
taking
them
by
their
upper
ends
lay
them
face
downwards
on
the
table.
Their
lower
ends
will
now
be
away
from
you,
and
when
you
desire
again
to
exhibit
the
cards
(in
a
transformed
condition),
you
have
only
to
turn
them
over
sideways,
and
pick
them
up
by
the
ends
which
are
now
directed
towards
you.
This
little
artifice
(which
is
simplicity
itself
in
practice,
though
a
little
difficult
to
describe)
must
be
carefully
studied,
as
upon
neat
manipulation
in
this
respect
the
illusion
of
the
trick
mainly
depends.
