Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
146
You
must
have
these
cards
close
at
hand,
in
such
a
position
as
to
enable
you
to
add
them
instantly,
and
without
attracting
observation,
to
the
pack
you
have
been
using.
If
you
use
the
regular
conjuror’s
table,
before
described,
you
may
place
your
pack
of
aces
on
the
servante.
If
you
do
not
use
such
a
table,
you
may
place
them
in
one
of
your
pochettes.
In
either
case,
you
will
have
little
difficulty
in
reaching
them
at
the
right
moment,
and
placing
them
on
the
top
of
the
ordinary
pack,
holding
the
whole
in
your
left
hand,
but
keeping
the
little
finger
between.
Having
done
this,
you
say
to
the
person
who
has
been
assisting
you
(in
continuation
of
the
trick
you
have
just
performed),
“You
appear
to
be
fond
of
aces,
sir.
How
many
would
you
like?”
He
is
fully
convinced,
having
previously
examined
the
pack,
that
you
have
only
the
ordinary
four
but,
from
a
desire
to
put
your
powers
to
an
extreme
test,
he
may
possibly
name
a
larger
number--say,
seven.
“Seven!”
you
reply;
“that
is
rather
unreasonable,
seeing
there
are
only
four
in
the
pack.
However,
we
will
make
some
more.
Do
you
know
how
to
make
aces?
No?
Then
I
will
show
you.
Like
all
these
things,
it’s
simplicity
itself,
when
you
once
know
it.
Will
you
oblige
me
by
blowing
upon
the
pack?”
which
you
hold
just
under
his
nose
for
that
purpose.
