Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
250
Looking
around
you,
you
continue,
“I
am
afraid
you
are
only
half
convinced;
some
of
you
look
incredulous
still.
Come,
we
will
try
the
experiment
once
more,
and
we
will
see
whether
you
can
find
me
out
this
time.
As
before,
I
take
one
coin
in
each
hand.”
This
time
you
actually
do
so.
You
again
pass
your
left
hand
under
the
table,
detaching
in
its
passage
the
third
florin,
which
you
had
previously
stuck
to
the
under
side
of
the
table,
but
taking
care
that
the
two
do
not
prematurely
jingle
together.
Then,
holding
the
other
florin
with
the
fingers
of
the
right
hand,
which
should
be
held
palm
downwards
about
a
foot
above
the
table,
make

with
that
hand,
thus
bringing
the
coin
into
its
palm,
and
at
the
same
time
chink
the
other
two
coins
in
the
left
hand,
and
bring
them
up
for
examination.
One
of
them,
in
this
instance,
is
a
substitute,
and
therefore,
in
the
unlikely
event
of
the
audience
insisting
that
the
trick
should
be
performed
with
marked
coins,
this
last
act
must
be
omitted.
With
a
regular
conjuring-table,
the
trick
might
be
made
even
more
surprising,
from
the
facilities
which
the
servante
would
afford
for
getting
rid
of
and
regaining
the
coin.
But
even
if
you
habitually
use
such
a
table,
it
is
better
not
to
avail
yourself
of
it
for
this
purpose.
The
trick
is,
in
any
shape,
too
minute
for
stage
performance,
and
in
a
drawing-room
it
is
apt
to
draw
special
attention
to
the
table,
which
in
the
case
of
a
trick-table
is
a
little
embarrassing.
