Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring

PASS
2.--This
is
somewhat
easier
than
Pass
1,
and
may
sometimes
be
usefully
substituted
for
it.
Take
the
coin
edgeways
between
the
first
and
third
fingers
of
the
right
hand,
the
sides
of
those
fingers
pressing
against
the
edges
of
the
coin,
and
the
middle
finger
steadying
it
from
behind.
(See
Fig.
63.)
Carry
the
right
hand
towards
the
left,
and
at
the
same
time
move
the
thumb
swiftly
over
the
face
of
the
coin
till
the
top
joint
just
passes
its
outer
edge
(see
Fig.
64);
then
bend
the
thumb,
and
the
coin
will
be
found
to
be
securely
nipped
between
that
joint
and
the
junction
of
the
thumb
with
the
hand.
(See
Fig.
65.)
As
in
the
last
case,
the
left
hand
must
be
closed
the
moment
the
right
hand
touches
it;
and
the
right
must
thenceforth
be
held
with
the
thumb
bent
slightly
inwards
towards
the
palm,
so
that
the
coin
may
be
shielded
from
the
view
of
the
spectators.
This
is
an
especially
quick
mode
of
palming,
and
if
properly
executed
the
illusion
is
perfect.
It
is
said
to
be
a
special
favourite
of
the
elder
Frikell.
PASS
3.--Hold
the
left
hand
palm
upwards,
with
the
coin
in
the
position
indicated
in
Fig.
59.
Move
the
right
hand
towards
the
left,
and
let
the
fingers
simulate
the
motion
of
picking
up
the
coin,
and
instantly
close.
At
the
same
moment
slightly
close
the
left
hand,
so
as
to
contract
the
palm
around
the
coin,
as
in
Fig.
60,
and
drop
the
hand,
letting
it
hang
loosely
by
your
side.
