Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
272
Some
little
practice
is
required
to
use
the
money-box
with
dexterity.
The
performer
should
hold
it
tightly
by
the
middle
between
the
finger
and
thumb
of
his
right
hand,
taking
care
that
the
side
on
which
the
secret
opening
is
shall
lie
toward
the
inside
of
his
hand.
As
he
drops
the
coin
through
the
slit,
he
should
press
lightly
on
the
top
with
the
fingers
of
the
left
hand,
and
at
the
same
time
push
c
upwards
with
the
right
hand.
The
coin
will
now
slip
through
into
his
hand,
while
a
slight
downward
pressure
as
he
replaces
the
box
on
the
table
will
again
push
down
c,
and
make
all
close
as
before.
If
the
performer
prefers
to
use
one
hand
only,
he
should
press
downwards
on
the
top
with
the
first
finger,
at
the
same
time
pressing
upwards
with
the
second
finger
and
thumb.
There
are
various
ways
of
using
this
little
apparatus.
It
may
either
be
used
as
above,
as
a
means
of
surreptitiously
gaining
possession
of
a
coin,
to
be
afterwards
produced
in
some
other
apparatus,
or
it
may
be
used
by
itself
singly,
the
coin
being
made
apparently
to
fall
through
the
bottom
at
the
will
of
the
performer.
It
may
also
be
used
as
a
puzzle,
its
secret
being
so
well
concealed
that
it
will
bear
a
very
minute
examination
without
discovery.
