Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
317
The
watch
chimes
once.
“Is
it
a
spade?”
The
watch
again
strikes
once.
“Is
it
a
heart?”
The
watch
chimes
three
times.
“The
card
is
a
heart,
is
it?
Now,
will
you
tell
us
what
heart?”
The
watch
chimes
seven,
and
stops.
“The
watch
declares
that
your
card
was
the
seven
of
hearts,
sir.
Is
that
so?”
The
card
is
turned,
and
shown
to
have
been
correctly
named.
Another
card
(say
the
queen
of
hearts)
is
now
drawn.
The
watch
names
the
suit
as
before,
but
when
ordered
to
name
the
particular
card,
remains
silent,
and
the
performer
therefore
puts
further
questions.
“Is
the
card
a
plain
card?”
Answer,
“No.”
“It
is
a
court
card,
is
it?
Well,
is
it
the
knave?”
Answer,
“No.”
“Is
it
the
queen?”
“Yes.”
Other
questions
may
in
like
manner
be
put,
e.g.,
as
to
the
number
thrown
by
a
pair
of
dice.
The
watch
is
at
any
moment
handed
for
inspection,
and
if
any
suggestion
of
special
mechanism
be
made,
a
second
watch
is
borrowed,
and
mesmerised
with
the
like
result.
