Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
275
A
favourite
mode
of
using
the
plug-box
is
as
follows:--A
coin
(say
a
florin)
is
wrapped
in
a
small
piece
of
paper,
after
which
the
coin
is
taken
out
and
the
paper
again
folded
in
such
a
manner
as
to
retain
the
impression
of
the
coin,
and
so
to
look,
as
far
as
possible,
as
if
still
containing
it.
The
paper
thus
folded
is
placed
beforehand
in
d,
and
the
performer,
borrowing
a
florin,
requests
the
owner
to
wrap
it
carefully
in
a
piece
of
paper,
which
he
hands
him
for
the
purpose,
and
which
is
similar
in
size
and
general
appearance
to
the
folded
piece.
The
florin,
thus
wrapped
up,
is
placed
in
a,
and
the
box
closed,
the
performer
thus
gaining
possession
of
paper
and
coin.
The
box
is
then
handed
to
the
owner
of
the
money,
who
is
asked
to
open
it
and
see
for
himself
that
his
money
is
still
there.
Seeing
the
folded
paper,
which
he
takes
to
be
the
same
in
which
his
money
was
wrapped,
he
answers
in
the
affirmative.
The
box
is
again
closed,
the
coin,
meanwhile,
being
disposed
of
according
to
the
pleasure
of
the
operator--the
owner
finding
on
a
closer
examination
that
his
money
has
departed
from
the
box,
though
the
paper
in
which
it
was
wrapped
(as
he
imagines)
still
remains.
