Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
248
This
illusion
is
produced
as
follows:--When
you
breathe
upon
the
substitute
coin,
you
naturally
turn
the
left
hand
palm
upwards.
In
the
act
of
taking
that
coin
in
the
right
hand,
which
you
do
with
the
hands
in
the
position
depicted
in
Fig.
69,
you
drop
the
genuine
coin,
which
was
previously
palmed
in
the
right
hand,
into
the
left,
the
position
of
the
hand
concealing
it
from
the
audience.
After
a
momentary
pause,
you
close
the
left
hand,
and
hold
it
extended
about
level
with
your
eyes.
At
each
of
the
words,
“One,
two,
three,”
you
make
a
slight
motion
of
the
right
hand
towards
it,
and
at
the
word
“Pass,”
palm
the
coin
by
means
of
Pass
1,
at
the
same
time
making
a
half
turn
of
your
body
to
the
left,
opening
the
left
hand,
and
pointing
with
the
index
finger
of
the
right
hand
to
the
coin
lying
therein.
While
it
is
being
examined
for
the
mark,
you
drop
the
substitute,
which
remains
palmed
in
your
right
hand,
into
the
pochette
on
that
side,
and
bring
up
your
hand
empty.
Having
proceeded
thus
far,
borrow
a
second
florin,
but
without
in
this
case
suggesting
that
it
should
be
marked,
breathe
upon
it,
and
lay
it
with
that
first
used
upon
the
table.
Now
with
your
right
hand
take
up
one
of
the
coins,
and
by
Pass
1
pretend
to
transfer
it
to
the
left,
really
retaining
it
in
the
palm
of
the
right
hand.
Then
take
up
the
second
coin
between
the
fingers
and
thumb
of
the
right
hand,
and
announce
that
you
are
about
to
make
the
coins,
which
you
now
hold
in
each
hand,
come
together.
Holding
your
arms
well
apart,
you
make
a
motion
with
the
left
hand
as
if
throwing
something
towards
the
right,
at
the
same
moment
saying
as
before,
“One,
two,
three!
Pass!”
and
making
the
two
coins
in
the
right
hand
come
together
with
an
audible
chink.
You
then
open
the
hand,
and
show
that
the
left
is
empty,
and
that
both
of
the
coins
are
together
in
the
right
hand.
