Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
241
Again
spreading
it
over
your
left
hand,
you
count
the
coins
one
by
one
upon
it;
then
giving
a
glance
round
at
the
company,
you
say,
as
you
quickly
return
to
your
platform,
“You
have
all
seen
that
the
four
coins
are
fairly
wrapped
in
the
handkerchief,”
or
make
any
other
remark
in
order
to
draw
the
general
attention,
as
a
sharp,
quick
remark
almost
always
will,
to
your
face
and
away
from
your
hands.
At
the
same
moment
you
move
the
left
thumb
over
the
face
of
the
coins,
thereby
covering
them
with
a
fold
of
the
handkerchief,
and
seize
them,
through
the
fold
thus
made,
between
the
thumb
and
fingers
of
the
right
hand,
as
indicated
in
Fig.
79,
immediately
withdrawing
the
left
hand.
The
coins
will
now
be
held
in
the
right
hand,
the
handkerchief
hanging
down
loosely
around
them.
To
any
one
who
has
not
watched
your
movements
with
more
than
ordinary
vigilance,
it
will
appear
that
the
coins
are
within
and
under
the
handkerchief,
though
they
are,
in
reality,
wrapped
in
an
external
fold.
Giving
them
a
twist
round
in
the
handkerchief,
you
hand
it
to
the
person
assisting
you,
asking
him
to
say
whether
the
money
is
still
there,
to
which
he
naturally
replies
in
the
affirmative.
You
then
tell
him
to
grasp
the
handkerchief
with
both
hands
three
or
four
inches
below
the
coins,
and
to
hold
as
tightly
as
he
possibly
can.
