Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
332
We
will
assume
that
the
performer
has,
in
the
course
of
one
or
other
of
the
tricks
already
described,
secretly
obtained
possession
of
a
borrowed
ring,
which
the
audience
believe
still
to
remain
in
some
place
or
apparatus
in
which
they
have
seen
it
deposited.
The
operator,
retiring
for
an
instant,
returns
with
a
plate
of
eggs
in
one
hand,
and
the
dummy
egg-cup
in
the
other.
The
special
egg-cup,
with
the
ring
already
in
the
mortice,
is
meanwhile
placed
either
under
his
waistband,
or
in
one
or
other
of
his
pochettes,
so
as
to
be
instantly
get-at-able
when
required.
Placing
the
eggs
on
the
table,
he
hands
round
the
egg-cup
for
inspection,
that
all
may
observe
that
it
is
wholly
without
preparation,
and
in
turning
to
place
the
egg-cup
on
the
table,
he
substitutes
for
it
the
one
which
contains
the
ring,
but
which
the
audience
naturally
believe
to
be
that
which
they
have
just
examined.
