Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
280
We
have
thus
far
discussed
pieces
of
apparatus
more
especially
designed
to
cause
the
disappearance
of
a
coin,
and
thus
adapted
for
use
in
the
first
stage
of
a
trick.
We
shall
next
consider
such
as
are
intended
to
reproduce,
under
more
or
less
surprising
circumstances,
the
coin
thus
got
rid
of,
such
reproduction
forming
the
second
stage,
or
dénouement.
THE
NEST
OF
BOXES.--This
consists
of
a
number,
generally
six,
but
sometimes
more,
of
circular
wooden
boxes,
one
within
the
other,
the
largest
or
outer
box
having
much
the
appearance,
but
being
nearly
double
the
size,
of
an
ordinary
tooth-powder
box,
and
the
smallest
being
just
large
enough
to
contain
a
shilling.
The
series
is
so
accurately
made,
that
by
arranging
the
boxes
in
due
order
one
within
the
other,
and
the
lids
in
like
manner,
you
may,
by
simply
putting
on
all
the
lids
together,
close
all
the
boxes
at
once,
though
they
can
only
be
opened
one
by
one.
