Taking
up
florin
No.
2
from
the
table,
and
holding
it
in
his
left
hand,
he
pretends
by
the
tourniquet
to
take
it
in
his
right,
and
thence
to
pass
it
into
the
orange,
meanwhile
dropping
it
from
his
left
hand
on
to
the
servante,
or
into
the
profonde.
Showing
his
hands
empty,
he
cuts
open
the
orange,
and
exhibits
the
florin
(No.
1)
therein
contained.
Before
giving
the
audience
time
to
examine
it
for
the
mark,
he
hears,
or
pretends
to
hear,
a
murmur
among
them
to
the
effect
that
that
was
not
the
orange
chosen.
“Pardon
me,”
he
says,
“some
of
you
seem
to
think
that
I
had
a
special
reason
for
preferring
this
particular
orange.
I
gave
you
absolute
liberty
to
choose
which
you
liked,
and
I
understood
you
to
say
that
you
chose
this
one.
However,
in
order
to
satisfy
everyone,
I
will
repeat
the
trick
with
the
other
orange.”
Taking
up
the
second
orange,
he
thrusts
the
knife
through
it,
in
the
slit
already
made,
and
gives
the
knife
thus
loaded
to
some
one
to
hold.
Then,
standing
at
some
distance
from
it,
he
takes
up
florin
No.
1,
and,
getting
rid
of
it
by
one
or
other
of
the
“passes”
previously
described,
he
makes
a
motion
as
of
throwing
it
towards
the
orange.
He
now
requests
the
person
holding
the
orange
himself
to
cut
it
open;
when
the
genuine
florin,
No.
3,
is
found
therein,
and
duly
identified.
The
finding
of
the
second
orange
in
the
possession
of
the
company
may,
if
preferred,
be
omitted,
and
both
oranges
be
brought
forward
openly
in
the
first
instance.
