Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
192
Another
very
telling
incident
is
the
transformation
of
an
eight
to
a
seven,
or
a
seven
to
a
six.
A
seven
of
spades,
say,
has
been
one
of
the
drawn
cards,
but
when
it
is
summoned
an
eight
of
spades
appears.
The
performer
apologizes
for
the
mistake,
and,
giving
the
card
a
touch
of
his
wand,
shows
it
instantly
transformed
to
a
seven.
This
is
effected
by
sticking
(with
a
little
bees’-wax)
a
loose
spade
pip
in
the
appropriate
position
on
an
ordinary
seven
of
spades.
The
performer
takes
out
the
supposed
eight
with
one
hand,
and
thence
transfers
it
to
the
other.
In
so
doing
he
draws
off,
with
the
hand
which
first
held
the
card,
the
loose
pip,
and,
holding
the
card
face
downwards,
touches
it
with
the
wand,
and
shows
that
it
has
apparently
changed
to
the
card
drawn.
