Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
221
PASS
6.--This
pass
is
best
adapted
for
use
with
three
or
four
coins,
as
the
chink
of
the
coins
against
one
another
materially
assists
the
illusion.
Having
to
get
rid
of,
say,
four
pence
or
florins,
you
take
them
in
the
right
hand,
as
indicated
in
Fig.
70,
viz.,
well
back
towards
the
wrist.
Move
the
right
hand
sharply
towards
the
left,
with
the
fingers
foremost,
so
that
the
finger-tips
of
the
right
hand
may
come
smartly,
at
about
right
angles,
against
the
palm
of
the
left,
at
the
same
time
slightly
bending
the
fingers.
The
coins,
instead
of
being
shot
forward
(as
to
the
eye
and
ear
of
the
spectators
they
appear
to
be)
into
the
left
hand,
are,
in
reality,
retained
in
the
hollow
formed
by
the
fingers
of
the
right,
as
in
Fig.
71.
They
are
turned
completely
over
as
the
hands
come
in
contact,
producing
a
loud
chink.
The
left
hand
is,
of
course,
closed,
and
the
thumb
of
the
right
is
allowed
to
sink
gently
on
the
coins,
so
that
when
the
hand
falls
by
your
side,
they
may
not
make
a
second
chink,
and
so
betray
their
presence
in
the
wrong
hand.
PASS
7.
(La
Coulée).--This
pass
is
best
adapted
for
a
coin
of
large
diameter,
like
the
French
five-franc
piece,
and
is
but
little
used
by
English
conjurors.
If,
however,
the
student
has
a
very
small
hand
(a
serious
disadvantage
in
conjuring
generally),
he
may
find
it
convenient
to
use
the
pass
in
question
with
a
half-crown
or
penny.
Take
the
coin
in
the
right
hand
between
the
first
and
second
fingers
and
the
thumb,
and
in
the
act
of
apparently
transferring
it
to
the
left
hand,
gently
slide
it
with
the
ball
of
the
thumb
into
the
position
shown
in
Fig.
72,
where
it
is
held
by
the
pressure
of
the
first
and
fourth
fingers
against
its
opposite
edges,
the
hand
remaining
completely
open.
