Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
232
You
thank
him
for
his
assistance,
hand
him
the
penny,
and
dismiss
him
to
his
seat.
Naturally
enough,
he
objects
to
accept
the
penny
in
place
of
his
florin.
You
pretend
at
first
not
to
understand
him,
but,
as
if
suddenly
enlightened,
you
exclaim,
“Oh,
the
florin,
you
want
the
florin?
My
dear
sir,”
indicating
the
penny,
“that
is
the
florin.
At
present
it
is
under
an
electric
influence,
but
you
have
only
to
wait
till
that
goes
off
(it
won’t
take
more
than
three
weeks
or
so),
when
it
will
resume
its
former
appearance.
You
don’t
believe
me,
I
see;
but
I
can
easily
convince
you
by
discharging
the
electric
fluid,
when
the
change
will
take
place
at
once.
Observe!”
You
take
the
penny
between
the
thumb
and
second
finger
of
the
left
hand
(after
the
manner
indicated
in
Fig.
66),
and
make
Change
4,
making
a
gentle
rubbing
movement
with
the
fingers
and
thumb
of
the
right
hand
before
you
open
that
hand
and
disclose
the
restored
florin,
at
the
same
time
carelessly
dropping
your
left
hand
to
your
side,
and
letting
fall
the
penny
into
your
pochette
on
that
side.
Bring
up
the
left
hand
again,
showing,
but
without
apparent
design,
that
it
is
empty;
and
still
holding
the
coin
in
the
right
hand,
make
Pass
1,
as
if
you
transferred
it
to
the
left
hand.
