Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
132
After
having
received
this
answer
for
the
last
time,
you
“change”
the
card
by
the
first
method
(see
page
28)
for
the
top
card.
You
now
have
the
card
a
(the
one
drawn
several
times)
in
your
hand,
while
b
has
become
the
top
card,
and
c,
which
you
have
just
exhibited,
is
at
the
bottom.
You
continue,
before
showing
a,
“You
are
all
agreed
that
this
is
not
your
card;
you
had
better
not
be
too
sure.
I
will
ask
you
one
by
one.
You,
sir,”
addressing
the
first
drawer,
“are
you
quite
sure
this
is
not
your
card?”
He
is
obliged
to
own
that
it
now
is
his
card.
“Pardon
me,”
you
say,
breathing
gently
on
the
back
of
the
card,
“it
may
have
been
so
a
moment
ago,
but
now
it
is
this
lady’s,”
exhibiting
it
to
the
second
drawer,
who
also
acknowledges
it
as
her
card.
To
the
third
person
you
say,
“I
think
you
drew
a
card,
did
you
not?
May
I
ask
you
to
blow
upon
the
back
of
this
card!
It
has
changed
again,
you
see,
for
now
it
is
your
card.”
The
card
having
been
again
recognized,
you
continue,
“There
was
no
one
else,
I
think,”
at
the
same
moment
again
making
the
change
by
the
first
method,
so
that
a
is
now
at
bottom
and
b
in
your
hand.
The
person
who
drew
b
will,
no
doubt,
remind
you
that
you
have
not
yet
shown
him
his
card.
You
profess
to
have
quite
forgotten
him,
and,
feigning
to
be
a
little
embarrassed,
ask
what
his
card
was.
He
names
it
accordingly,
upon
which
you
ask
him
to
blow
upon
the
card
you
hold,
and,
turning
it
over,
show
that
it
has
now
turned
into
that
card.
Then
again
making
the
change,
you
remark,
“Everybody
has
certainly
had
his
card
now.”
Then,
yourself
blowing
upon
the
card
you
hold,
which
is
now
an
indifferent
one,
you
show
it,
and
remark,
“You
observe
that
now
it
is
nobody’s
card.”
