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

You
now
have
the
seven
of
diamonds
at
the
top
of
the
pack,
with
the
remaining
three
aces
immediately
following
it.
You
must
not
show
this
seven
of
diamonds
a
second
time,
and
it
is
therefore
necessary
to
get
it
out
of
the
way.
The
neatest
way
of
doing
this
is
as
follows:--You
remark,
“To
show
you
that
I
take
the
cards
just
as
they
come,
I
will
give
them
a
shuffle,”
which
you
do
as
indicated
for
the
first
of
the
“false
shuffles”
(see
page
23),
subject
to
the
modification
following.
Pass
into
the
right
hand
first
the
top
card
(the
seven
of
diamonds)
alone,
and
upon
this
card
pass
the
next
three,
which
are
the
three
aces,
then
the
rest
of
the
cards
indifferently.
When
all
the
cards
are
thus
passed
into
the
right
hand,
shuffle
them
again
anyhow,
but
take
care
to
conclude
by
bringing
the
four
lowest
cards
to
the
top;
you
will
now
have
the
three
aces
uppermost,
and
the
seven
of
diamonds
in
the
fourth
place.
Taking
off
the
top
card,
and
drawing
it
sharply
over
the
hand
of
the
person
assisting,
you
show
that
it
also
is
an
ace,
and
in
like
manner
with
the
next
card,
making,
if
you
choose,
a
false
shuffle
between.
After
the
third
ace
has
been
shown,
make
a
false
shuffle,
and
finally
leave
at
the
top
the
last
ace,
with
one
card
above
it.
This
may
be
effected
by
bringing
up
from
the
bottom
in
concluding
the
shuffle
the
two
bottom
cards,
instead
of
the
last
(the
ace)
only.
Taking
the
top
card
between
the
thumb
and
first
finger
of
the
right
hand,
and
showing
it
with
apparent
carelessness,
so
as
to
give
the
company
the
opportunity
of
remarking
that
it
is
not
an
ace,
you
replace
it
on
the
pack
for
an
instant,
saying,
“We
have
had
three
aces,
I
think.
Which
is
it
that
is
wanting?”
Here
you
glance
down
at
the
aces
on
the
table.
“Oh!
the
ace
of
diamonds.
Then
the
card
that
I
hold
must
change
to
the
ace
of
diamonds.”
You
have
meanwhile
effected
the
change,
and
turning
up
the
card
you
hold,
you
show
that
it
is
the
ace
of
diamonds.
