Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
149
You
remark,
“You
have
all
seen
the
drawn
cards
placed
in
different
parts
of
the
pack,
and
the
whole
have
been
since
thoroughly
shuffled.
The
drawn
cards
are
therefore
at
this
moment
scattered
in
different
parts
of
the
pack.
I
can
assure
you
that
I
do
not
myself
know
what
the
cards
are”
(this
is
the
only
item
of
fact
in
the
whole
sentence);
“but
yet,
by
a
very
slight,
simple
movement,
I
shall
make
them
appear,
in
couples
as
they
were
drawn,
at
top
and
bottom
of
the
pack.”
Then,
showing
the
bottom
card,
you
ask,
“Is
this
anybody’s
card?”
The
reply
is
in
the
negative.
You
next
show
the
top
card,
and
make
the
same
inquiry.
While
you
do
so,
you
slip
the
little
finger
under
the
next
card,
and
as
you
replace
the
card
you
have
just
shown,
make
the
pass,
thus
bringing
both
cards
to
the
bottom
of
the
pack.
Meanwhile,
you
ask
the
last
person
who
drew
what
his
cards
were.
When
he
names
them,
you
“ruffle”
the
cards,
and
show
him
first
the
bottom
and
then
the
top
card,
which
will
be
the
two
he
drew.
While
exhibiting
the
top
card,
take
the
opportunity
to
slip
the
little
finger
of
the
left
hand
immediately
under
the
card
next
below
it,
and
as
you
replace
the
top
one
make
the
pass
at
that
point.
You
now
have
the
third
couple
placed
top
and
bottom.
Make
the
drawer
name
them,
ruffle
the
cards,
and
show
them
as
before,
again
making
the
pass
to
bring
the
card
just
shown
at
top,
with
that
next
following,
to
the
bottom
of
the
pack,
which
will
enable
you
to
exhibit
the
second
couple
in
like
manner.
These
directions
sound
a
little
complicated,
but
if
followed
with
the
cards
will
be
found
simple
enough.
