Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
289
The
casket
may
be
used
in
many
tricks
with
good
effect.
In
combination
with
the
magic
glass,
last
above
described,
it
is
employed
as
follows:--The
four
coins
which
have
been
substituted
for
the
genuine
ones
are
placed,
in
sight
of
all,
in
the
magic
casket,
which
is
then
closed,
and
handed
to
one
of
the
audience
to
hold.
The
performer
then
states
that
he
is
about
to
order
the
four
coins
now
in
the
casket
to
pass
one
by
one
into
the
glass
upon
the
table.
“One!”
he
exclaims.
A
coin
is
heard
to
fall
into
the
glass.
The
person
who
holds
the
casket
is
requested
to
open
it;
three
coins
only
are
left.
It
is
again
closed,
and
the
performer
says,
“Two!”
Again
the
chink
of
the
falling
coin
is
heard,
and
another
coin
is
found
to
have
disappeared
from
the
casket.
The
operation
is
repeated
till
all
have
vanished,
and
the
operator
pours
forth
from
the
glass
four
coins,
which,
on
examination,
are
found
to
be
the
same
which
were
originally
borrowed,
and
which
the
audience
believe
that
they
saw
placed
in
the
casket.
The
casket
may
also
be
used
with
capital
effect
in
conjunction
with
