Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
122
You
continue,
“You
have
not
found
me
out
yet?
Well,
to
reward
your
attention,
as
this
really
is
a
very
good
trick,
I
will
show
you
how
to
do
it
for
yourselves.”
Pick
out
the
four
aces,
and
hand
the
two
red
ones
to
one
person,
and
the
two
black
ones
to
another
person.
Then,
taking
the
pack
in
your
left
hand,
and
addressing
yourself
first
to
the
person
on
your
right,
request
him
to
place
the
two
aces
which
he
holds
respectively
at
the
top
and
bottom
of
the
pack.
Then,
turning
to
the
other
person,
request
him
to
place
the
two
other
aces
in
the
middle
of
the
pack,
which
you
(apparently)
open
midway
with
the
right
hand
for
the
purpose.
In
reality,
instead
of
merely
lifting
up,
as
you
appear
to
do,
the
top
half
of
the
pack,
you
make
the
pass
by
sliding
out
the
bottom
half
of
the
pack
to
the
left.
This
movement
is
completely
lost
in
your
quick
half
turn
to
the
left
as
you
address
the
second
person,
which
so
covers
the
smaller
movement
of
the
cards
as
to
make
it
absolutely
imperceptible;
and
it
is
in
order
to
create
the
excuse
for
this
useful
half
turn,
that
we
have
recommended
you
to
place
the
aces
in
the
hands
of
two
different
persons,
and
to
begin
with
the
person
on
your
right.
