Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
363
These
preparations
having
been
duly
made
beforehand,
you
come
forward
with
a
small
shawl,
or
large
handkerchief,
the
tube,
and
the
second
plume.
Laying
the
tube
and
plume
upon
the
table,
you
request
the
audience
to
satisfy
themselves
that
the
shawl
contains
nothing.
You
then
ask
some
one
to
step
forward
and
take
care
of
the
shawl,
which
you
meanwhile
carelessly
throw
over
your
left
hand,
immediately
after
taking
hold
of
its
centre
with
your
right,
as
before
described,
and
drawing
the
left
arm
away.
It
is
needless
to
remark,
to
those
who
have
followed
the
explanation
of
the
last
trick,
that
the
hidden
plume
is
thereby
brought
under
the
shawl,
though,
being
held
by
the
loop
of
ribbon,
there
is
nothing
to
betray
its
presence.
You
hand
the
shawl
in
this
condition
to
the
person
who
has
volunteered
to
hold
it,
requesting
him
to
keep
it
at
arm’s
length,
still
hanging
down.
Next
taking
up
the
tube,
you
open
it
at
the
plain
or
unprepared
end,
and
holding
it
mouth
downwards,
show
that
it
is
(apparently)
empty;
then
ostentatiously
place
the
plume
therein,
and
put
the
cap
on.
