Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
147
He
does
so,
and
you
deliberately
count
off
and
give
to
him
the
seven
top
cards,
which
all
prove
to
be
aces.
You
then
say,
“Perhaps
you
would
like
some
more.
You
have
only
to
blow
again.
Come,
how
many
will
you
have?”
He
again
blows
on
the
pack,
and
you
give
him
the
number
desired.
While
he
is
examining
them,
you
cover
the
pack
for
a
moment
with
your
right
hand,
and
palm
a
dozen
or
so
of
the
remaining
aces.
Then
remarking,
“You
blew
a
little
too
strongly
that
time.
You
blew
a
lot
of
aces
into
your
waistcoat,”
you
thrust
your
hand
into
the
breast
of
his
waistcoat,
and
bring
out
three
or
four
of
the
palmed
cards,
leaving
the
remainder
inside;
then
pull
out
two
or
three
more,
dropping
them
on
the
floor,
so
as
to
scatter
them
about
and
make
them
appear
as
numerous
as
possible.
You
then
say,
“There
seem
to
be
a
good
many
more
there
yet.
Perhaps
you
will
take
them
out
yourself.”
While
he
is
doing
so,
you
palm
in
the
right
hand
all
the
remaining
aces.
When
he
professes
to
have
taken
out
all,
you
say,
“Are
you
quite
sure
that
you
have
no
more
aces
about
you?
You
blew
very
hard,
you
know.
I
really
think
you
must
have
some
more.
Will
you
allow
me?”
Then,
standing
on
his
right,
you
place
your
right
hand
just
below
his
eyes,
and
spring
the
remaining
aces
from
it,
in
the
manner
indicated
for
springing
the
cards
from
hand
to
hand
(see
page
37),
the
effect
being
exactly
as
if
a
shower
of
cards
flew
from
his
nose.
