Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
235
[J]
This
takes
it
out
of
the
range
of
his
eyes,
and
prevents
his
indulging
any
desire
for
a
premature
examination
of
the
contents.
Managed
with
neatness
and
address,
this
is
an
admirable
drawing-room
trick;
the
previous
marking
of
the
coins
apparently
precluding
any
possibility
of
using
substitutes,
and
allowing
the
spectator
no
alternative
but
to
admit
that
by
some
mysterious
means
the
identical
coins
have
changed
places.
A
similar
trick
may
be
performed
without
the
use
of
the
handkerchief.
As
before,
you
borrow
a
marked
florin
and
penny,
exchanging
the
latter
for
one
of
your
own,
and
palm
the
genuine
one.
Taking
up
the
marked
florin
from
the
table,
you
hand
it
to
some
one
to
hold,
substituting
for
it
as
you
do
so
the
genuine
penny
by
Change
3,
as
indicated
in
the
trick
last
described.
The
florin
is
thus
left
in
your
right
hand.
Palm
it,
and
take
up
the
substitute
penny
between
the
second
finger
and
thumb
of
the
left
hand,
and
pretend
by
Pass
4
to
transfer
it
to
the
right,
which
you
immediately
close.
Drop
the
penny
into
your
pochette
on
the
left
side,
and
announce
that
by
your
magic
power
you
will
compel
the
penny
which
you
hold
to
change
places
with
the
florin
held
by
the
spectator.
When
the
hands
are
opened,
the
supposed
change
is
found
to
be
accomplished.
