Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
170
It
will
be
observed
that
the
mode
here
indicated
of
changing
a
wrong
card
into
a
right
one
differs
from
that
described
in
the
last
trick.
Either
method
will
be
equally
available,
but
it
will
be
well
to
practise
both,
as
it
is
a
great
desideratum
to
be
able
to
vary
the
dénouement
of
a
trick.
The
course
of
action
above
directed
in
the
event
of
an
unexpected
card
being
thought
of,
may
be
made
available
as
a
means
of
escape
from
a
break-down
in
many
other
cases.
Thus,
for
instance,
if
you
are
using
a
biseauté
pack,
and
a
chosen
card
has
been
replaced
without
the
pack
having
been
previously
reversed,
or
if
you
have
from
any
other
cause
accidentally
lost
the
means
of
discovering
a
card
drawn,
you
may
still
bring
the
trick
to
an
effective
termination
as
follows:--Give
the
pack
to
some
one
to
shuffle,
and
then,
drawing
a
card
haphazard,
and
placing
it
face
downwards
on
the
table,
announce
boldly
that
the
card
drawn
is
now
upon
the
table.
Ask
the
person
to
name
his
card,
show
apparently
that
it
is
not
in
the
pack,
and
finish
the
trick
in
one
or
other
of
the
modes
above
described.
A
CARD
HAVING
BEEN
DRAWN
AND
RETURNED,
AND
THE
PACK
SHUFFLED,
TO
DIVIDE
THE
PACK
INTO
SEVERAL
HEAPS
ON
THE
TABLE,
AND
TO
CAUSE
THE
DRAWN
CARD
TO
APPEAR
IN
SUCH
HEAP
AS
THE
COMPANY
MAY
CHOOSE.--Invite
a
person
to
draw
a
card.
When
it
is
returned,
make
the
pass
to
bring
it
to
the
top.
Make
a
false
shuffle,
and
leave
it
still
at
the
top.
If
any
of
the
audience
requests
to
be
allowed
to
shuffle,
palm
the
card,
and
hand
him
the
pack.
When
it
is
returned,
again
place
the
card
on
the
top.
