Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann

When
the
pack
is
returned,
place
the
palmed
card
upon
the
top,
and
thus
press
home
the
pin,
which
will
project
about
a
quarter
of
an
inch
through
the
back
of
the
card.
Request
the
audience
to
indicate
any
point
upon
the
woodwork
of
the
apartment
at
which
they
would
like
the
chosen
card
to
appear;
and
when
the
spot
is
selected,
stand
at
two
or
three
feet
distance,
and
fling
the
cards,
backs
foremost,
heavily
against
it,
doing
your
best
to
make
them
strike
as
flat
as
possible,
when
the
other
cards
will
fall
to
the
ground,
but
the
selected
one
will
remain
firmly
pinned
to
the
woodwork.
Some
little
practice
will
be
necessary
before
you
can
make
certain
of
throwing
the
pack
so
as
to
strike
in
the
right
position.
Until
you
can
be
quite
sure
of
doing
this,
it
is
better
to
be
content
with
merely
striking
the
pack
against
the
selected
spot.
The
result
is
the
same,
though
the
effect
is
less
surprising
than
when
the
cards
are
actually
thrown
from
the
hand.
