Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
151
You
then
(by
the
slip
or
pass)
bring
the
remaining
knave
of
spades
from
the
top
to
the
bottom,
and
shuffle
again
as
before,
taking
care
not
to
displace
the
two
bottom
cards.
Again
ask
the
company
to
note
the
bottom
card
(which
is
now
the
knave
of
spades),
and
draw
out,
as
before,
apparently
that
card,
but
really
the
nine
of
diamonds.
Place
that
also
face
downwards
on
the
table,
and
request
another
person
to
cover
it
with
his
hand.
The
company
are
persuaded
that
the
first
card
thus
drawn
was
the
nine
of
diamonds,
and
the
second
the
knave
of
spades.
You
now
announce
that
you
will
compel
the
two
cards
to
change
places,
and
after
touching
them
with
your
wand,
or
performing
any
other
mystical
ceremony
which
may
serve
to
account
for
the
transformation,
you
request
the
person
holding
each
to
show
his
card,
when
they
will
be
found
to
have
obeyed
your
commands.
The
attention
of
the
audience
being
naturally
attracted
to
the
two
cards
on
the
table,
you
will
have
little
difficulty
in
palming
and
pocketing
the
second
knave
of
spades,
which
is
still
at
the
bottom
of
the
pack,
and
which,
if
discovered,
would
spoil
the
effect
of
the
trick.
