Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
237
The
marked
penny,
it
will
be
remembered,
remains
in
your
left
hand,
and
the
marked
florin
on
the
table.
As
you
go
to
take
up
the
latter,
you
transfer
the
penny
to
your
right
hand,
and
palm
it;
then
pick
up
the
florin,
holding
it
at
the
tips
of
the
fingers.
Spread
the
second
handkerchief
on
the
open
palm
of
the
left
hand.
Bring
the
florin
down
smartly
upon
it,
and
by
the
same
movement
let
the
penny
fall
from
the
palm
on
to
the
handkerchief.
The
two
coins
will
now
be
lying
(covered
by
the
right
hand)
on
the
handkerchief,
a
couple
of
inches
apart.
Close
the
left
hand
on
both
coins,
and
turn
the
hand
over,
so
that
the
edges
of
the
handkerchief
hang
down.
With
the
right
hand
grasp
the
handkerchief
five
or
six
inches
below
the
coins.
Take
one
of
these
through
the
handkerchief
between
the
finger
and
thumb
of
the
left
hand,
letting
the
other
fall
loose
inside
the
handkerchief,
which
you
then
invite
some
one
to
hold
in
like
manner,
but
in
a
horizontal
position.
(See
Fig.
76.)
This
position
is
adopted
in
order
that
the
two
coins
may
not,
by
any
accidental
chink,
prematurely
disclose
the
fact
that
both
are
already
in
the
handkerchief.
