Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
361
Some
performers
have
in
addition
a
bundle
of
plumes
fastened
together
by
a
thread,
and
laid
along
the
inside
of
the
trousers
and
waistcoat,
in
such
manner
that
the
stems
are
just
within
the
breast
of
the
latter.
After
having
exhausted
his
sleeves,
the
operator,
holding
the
handkerchief
(by
two
of
its
corners)
across
his
chest,
to
show
that
it
is
quite
empty,
catches
hold,
with
the
second
and
third
fingers,
of
the
stem
of
the
bundle
within
the
waistcoat,
and
moving
the
handkerchief
with
a
quick
sidelong
motion
from
left
to
right,
or
vice
versâ,
draws
out
the
feathers
behind
it,
and
immediately
breaking
the
thread,
shakes
them
out
in
a
shower
on
the
stage.
There
is
another
form
of
the
same
trick,
in
which
the
handkerchief
plays
only
a
secondary
part,
but,
from
its
near
relation
to
that
last
described,
we
insert
it
in
this
place.
It
is
generally
called
