Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
29
An
oblong
box,
twelve
or
fourteen
inches
in
length
by
three
in
depth,
well
padded
with
wadding,
and
placed
on
the
servante,
will
be
found
very
useful
in
getting
rid
of
small
articles,
such
as
coin,
oranges,
etc.,
as
such
articles
may
be
dropped
into
the
box
without
causing
any
sound,
and
therefore
without
attracting
attention.
In
default
of
a
table
regularly
made
for
the
purpose,
the
amateur
may
with
little
difficulty
adapt
an
ordinary
table
for
use
as
a
makeshift.
A
common
library
or
kitchen
table
having
a
drawer
on
one
side,
and
raised
on
four
bricks
or
blocks
of
wood
to
the
requisite
height
will
answer
the
purpose
very
fairly.
The
table
must
be
covered
with
a
cloth;
and
should
have
the
drawer
pulled
out
about
six
inches
(the
drawer
side
being,
of
course,
away
from
the
audience)
to
form
the
servante.
A
still
better
extempore
conjuring
table
may
be
manufactured
in
a
few
minutes
with
the
aid
of
a
good-sized
folding
bagatelle
board.
Place
the
shut-up
board
on
a
card
or
writing
table
(which
should
be
six
or
eight
inches
shorter
than
the
board),
in
such
manner
that
there
may
be
left
behind
it
(on
the
side
which
is
intended
to
be
farthest
from
the
audience),
a
strip
of
table
six
or
seven
inches
in
width.
This
will
form
the
servante.
Throw
an
ordinary
cloth
table-cover
over
the
bagatelle
board,
letting
it
hang
down
a
foot
or
eighteen
inches
in
front,
and
tucking
its
opposite
edge
under
the
hinder
edge
of
the
board,
whose
weight
will
prevent
it
slipping.
If
the
cloth
is
too
large,
it
must
be
folded
accordingly
before
placing
it
on
the
table.
The
table
thus
extemporized
will
be
of
a
convenient
height,
and
will
answer
very
fairly
for
the
purposes
of
an
ordinary
drawing-room
performance.
