Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
346
It
only
remains
to
explain
the
mode
by
which
the
nest
of
boxes,
with
the
handkerchief
therein,
is
placed
upon
the
servante.
Some
performers
employ
the
rather
too
transparent
expedient
of
making
the
assistant
bring
in,
then
and
there,
a
small
round
table,
behind
which,
on
a
servante
of
its
own,
is
placed
the
closed
nest
of
boxes.
A
better
plan,
where
the
size
of
the
nest
permits,
is
to
have
it
placed
open,
before
the
performance
commences,
on
the
servante
of
the
centre
table.
It
is
then
an
easy
matter
for
the
performer
or
his
assistant
(as
the
case
may
be)
to
slip
in
the
folded
handkerchief,
and
close
the
boxes,
the
remainder
of
the
trick
proceeding
as
already
described.
Some
performers
use
for
the
purpose
of
this
trick
a
special
mechanical
table,
which,
by
means
of
a
lifting
apparatus,
itself
introduces
the
nest
of
boxes
through
a
trap
into
the
bottomless
box,
without
the
necessity
of
tilting
the
latter.
