Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
164
You
then
say,
“I
do
not
generally
repeat
a
trick,
but
on
this
occasion,
as
you
may
possibly
imagine
that
my
success
was
a
mere
result
of
accident,
I
will
perform
the
trick
once
more,
and,
if
you
please,
you
shall
yourselves
name
beforehand
the
packet
in
which
the
card
thought
of
shall
appear.”
The
packet
having
been
chosen,
you
join
the
other
two
in
your
left
hand,
and
invite
some
one
to
think
of
a
card.
When
he
has
done
so,
you
come
forward,
as
before,
to
show
that
it
is
not
among
the
cards
you
hold.
Luck
may
again
favour
you;
but
if
not,
and
you
see
the
card
chosen
among
those
you
hold
in
your
hand,
you
quickly
draw
it,
by
a
rapid
movement
of
the
second
finger
of
the
right
hand,
behind
the
rest
of
the
pack,
and,
continuing
your
examination,
show
the
company,
to
all
appearance,
that
the
card
is
not
there.
Having
done
this,
you
again
turn
the
pack
over
(when
the
card
thought
of
will
be
on
the
top),
and,
covering
the
pack
for
a
moment
with
the
right
hand,
palm
that
card.
Then,
picking
up
with
the
same
hand
the
heap
remaining
on
the
table,
you
place
the
palmed
card
on
the
top,
and,
transferring
the
cards
to
the
left
hand,
you
say,
“You
are
welcome
to
watch
me
as
closely
as
you
please.
You
will
find
that
I
shall
cut
these
cards
at
the
precise
card
you
thought
of.”
To
all
appearance
you
merely
cut
the
cards,
but
really
at
the
same
moment
make
the
pass
(by
lifting
away
the
lower
instead
of
the
upper
half
of
the
packet).
The
upper
part
of
the
packet,
with
the
card
on
the
top,
remains
in
the
left
hand.
You
request
some
one
to
look
at
the
top
card,
which
is
found
to
be
the
card
thought
of.
