Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
172
If
the
choice
falls
on
either
of
the
outside
cards,
gather
together
all
three,
without
showing
them
(the
ace
still
being
in
the
middle)
and
ask
some
one
to
blow
on
them.
Then
deal
them
out
again
in
apparently
the
same
order
as
before,
but
really
deal
the
second
for
the
first,
so
as
to
bring
that
card
into
the
place
of
the
card
indicated.
Then,
after
showing
the
two
other
cards
as
above
directed,
finally
turn
up
the
ace
of
diamonds,
and
show
that
it
is
the
card
originally
chosen.
TO
CHANGE
A
DRAWN
CARD
INTO
THE
PORTRAITS
OF
SEVERAL
OF
THE
COMPANY
IN
SUCCESSION.--For
the
purpose
of
this
trick
you
will
require
a
forcing
pack
of
similar
pattern
to
your
ordinary
pack,
but
consisting
throughout
of
a
single
card,
say
the
seven
of
clubs.
You
must
also
have
half-a-dozen
or
more
sevens
of
clubs
of
the
same
pattern,
on
the
faces
of
which
you
must
either
draw
or
paste
small
caricature
portraits,
after
the
manner
of
Twelfth
Night
characters;
which
should
be
of
such
a
kind
as
to
excite
laughter
without
causing
offence.
You
arrange
your
pack
beforehand
as
follows:--On
the
top
place
a
fancy
portrait,
say
of
a
young
lady;
then
a
seven
of
clubs,
then
a
fancy
portrait
of
a
gentleman,
then
a
seven
of
clubs;
another
fancy
portrait
of
a
lady,
another
seven
of
clubs,
and
so
on;
so
that
the
first
eight
or
ten
cards
of
the
pack
shall
consist
of
alternate
portraits
and
sevens
of
clubs
(the
top
card
of
all
being
a
lady’s
portrait),
and
the
rest
of
the
pack
of
sevens
of
clubs
only.
