Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
321
One
of
the
simplest
modes
of
using
it
is
as
follows:
Producing
a
small
piece
of
paper,
to
which
you
direct
particular
attention,
you
state
that
a
wedding-ring
wrapped
up
therein
cannot
be
again
extracted
without
your
permission.
A
wedding-ring
is
borrowed
in
order
to
test
your
assertion,
and
you
meanwhile
get
in
readiness
the
flying
ring,
which
is
attached,
we
will
suppose,
to
your
left
sleeve.
Receiving
the
borrowed
ring
in
your
right
hand,
you
apparently
transfer
it
to
the
other
hand
(really
palming
it
between
the
second
and
third
fingers,
and
at
the
same
moment
exhibiting
your
own
ring),
and
immediately
afterwards
drop
the
borrowed
ring
into
the
pochette
on
that
side.
You
must
take
care
so
to
stand
that
the
back
of
your
left
hand
may
be
towards
the
spectators,
that
the
thread,
lying
along
the
inside
of
your
hand,
may
not
be
seen.
Spreading
the
paper
on
the
table,
and
placing
the
ring
upon
it,
you
fold
the
paper
over
it,
beginning
with
the
side
away
from
you,
and
pressing
it
so
as
to
show
the
shape
of
the
ring
through
it.
As
you
fold
down
a
second
angle
of
the
paper
you
release
the
ring,
which
forthwith
flies
up
your
sleeve.
You
continue
to
fold
the
paper,
and
repeating
your
assertion
that
no
one
can
take
the
ring
out
without
your
permission,
hand
it
to
a
spectator,
in
order
that
he
may
make
the
attempt.
On
opening
the
paper
he
finds
that
you
were
very
safe
in
asserting
that
he
could
not
take
the
ring
out
of
it,
inasmuch
as
the
ring
is
no
longer
in
it.
