Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
242
Placing
your
wand
under
your
right
arm,
and
taking
hold
of
the
coins
(through
the
handkerchief)
with
both
hands,
the
right
hand
undermost,
you
begin
to
pull
against
him,
making
a
show
of
pulling
with
great
force,
and
remarking
that
you
are
very
glad
it
is
not
your
handkerchief,
that
you
should
not
have
thought
he
was
so
strong,
etc.
Meanwhile,
and
while
the
company
are
enjoying
the
discomfiture
of
the
owner
of
the
handkerchief,
you
untwist
the
latter,
and
secretly
get
the
money
out
of
the
fold
into
your
right
hand,
and
palm
it
therein.
Give
one
last
pull
with
your
left
hand,
and
let
go
smartly,
observing
that
you
fear
you
must
give
it
up,
and
own
yourself
conquered.
Take
your
wand
in
your
right
hand;
this
will
make
it
seem
natural
for
you
to
keep
that
hand
closed,
and
will
materially
aid
in
concealing
the
fact
that
the
money
is
therein.
Your
antagonist,
or
the
spectators
for
him,
will
by
this
time
have
discovered
that
the
money
has
vanished;
but
you
pretend
to
be
unconscious
of
the
fact,
and
request
him
to
give
it
back,
that
you
may
return
it
to
the
owners.
He
naturally
declares
that
he
has
not
got
it.
With
all
the
seriousness
that
you
can
command,
you
insist
that
he
has
it,
and
that
he
must
restore
it.
On
his
continued
denial
you
suggest
that
he
should
search
his
pockets,
which
you
tap,
one
after
another,
with
your
wand,
each
giving
a
metallic
sound
as
if
containing
money;
but
the
coins
are
still
not
to
be
found.
At
last,
after
all
his
pockets
have
been
tried
in
vain,
you,
as
if
upon
a
sudden
thought,
tap
the
leg
of
his
trousers,
the
metallic
chink
still
following
every
tap
of
the
wand
till
you
have
nearly
reached
his
feet,
when
you
exclaim,
“Yes,
there
it
is.
Will
you
have
the
kindness
to
put
your
foot
on
that
chair?”
He
does
so,
and
quickly
transferring
your
wand
to
the
left
hand,
with
the
fingers
of
the
right
you
turn
up
the
edge
of
the
trouser,
giving
at
the
same
time
a
slight
shake,
when
the
four
coins
are
seen
to
fall
out,
to
the
great
surprise
of
the
victim.
