Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
351
He
comes
forward
to
the
audience
with
it,
and,
after
thanking
the
owner,
makes
a
gesture
of
returning
it;
but,
as
if
struck
by
a
sudden
thought,
checks
himself,
and
says,
“I’m
afraid
it
smells
rather
strong
of
the
lemon.
Will
you
allow
me
to
scent
it
for
you?
I
have
some
capital
Eau
de
Cologne
here.”
Going
back
to
his
table,
he
places
the
handkerchief
on
a
plate,
and
pours
scent
on
it,
turning
as
he
does
so
to
the
owner,
and
saying,
“Please
tell
me
when
you
think
there
is
enough.”
While
his
back
is
turned,
the
attendant,
who
has
been
standing
by
holding
a
lighted
candle,
with
a
mischievous
wink
at
the
company,
tilts
the
candle,
and
sets
the
handkerchief
on
fire.
The
performer
apologizes
for
his
assistant’s
stupidity,
but
appeals
to
the
company
to
bear
witness
that
it
was
no
fault
of
his,
and
bringing
forward
the
plate,
with
the
handkerchief
still
blazing,
offers
it
to
the
owner.
She,
of
course,
declines
to
take
it,
and
the
performer,
remarking,
“You
don’t
like
it
in
this
condition;
well,
then,
suppose
I
put
it
in
paper
for
you,”
places
the
plate
on
the
floor,
telling
the
assistant
to
put
it
on
the
table,
and
runs
off
to
get
the
paper.
The
attendant
tries
to
lift
off
the
plate,
but
finds
that
it
burns
his
fingers.
However,
after
several
attempts,
getting
the
plate
a
little
nearer
to
the
table
at
each,
he
manages
to
place
it
on
the
table.
