Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
259
As
the
student
has
so
successfully
guessed
all
this,
it
would
be
an
impertinence
on
our
part
to
further
explain
the
trick.
THE
WANDERING
SIXPENCE.--Have
ready
two
sixpences,
each
slightly
waxed
on
one
side.
Borrow
a
sixpence,
and
secretly
exchange
it
for
one
of
the
waxed
ones,
laying
the
latter,
waxed
side
uppermost,
on
the
table.
Let
any
one
draw
two
cards
from
any
ordinary
pack.
Take
them
in
the
left
hand,
and,
transferring
them
to
the
right,
press
the
second
waxed
sixpence
against
the
centre
of
the
undermost,
to
which
it
will
adhere.
Lay
this
card
(which
we
will
call
a)
on
the
table,
about
eighteen
inches
from
the
sixpence
which
is
already
there,
and
cover
that
sixpence
with
the
other
card,
b.
Lift
both
cards
a
little
way
from
the
table,
to
show
that
the
sixpence
is
under
card
a,
and
that
there
is
apparently
nothing
under
card
b.
As
you
replace
them,
press
lightly
on
the
centre
of
card
a.
You
may
now
make
the
sixpence
appear
under
whichever
card
you
like,
remembering
that,
if
you
wish
the
sixpence
not
to
adhere,
you
must
bend
the
card
slightly
upwards
in
taking
it
from
the
table;
if
otherwise,
take
it
up
without
bending.
