Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
24
Before
proceeding
to
the
practice
of
the
magic
art,
it
will
be
well
to
give
a
short
description
of
two
or
three
appliances,
which
are
of
such
constant
use
that
they
may
be
said
to
form
the
primary
stock-in-trade
of
every
conjuror.
These
are--a
short
wand,
a
specially
adapted
table,
and
certain
secret
pockets
in
the
magician’s
dress.
There
are
numerous
other
appliances
of
very
general
use,
which
will
be
explained
in
due
course,
but
those
we
have
named
are
so
indispensable
that
we
could
hardly
complete
the
description
of
half-a-dozen
tricks
of
any
pretension
without
a
reference
to
one
or
other
of
them.
