Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
369
This
he
does
by
one
movement,
for
as
the
egg
is
already
lying
on
the
handkerchief,
a
mere
turn
of
the
wrist
places
the
egg
in
the
glass,
and
at
the
same
time
lets
fall
the
handkerchief
over
it;
and
at
the
same
time
the
smaller
handkerchief,
which
was
concealed
in
the
larger,
is
released,
and
falls
into
the
glass
with
the
egg.
“You
have
all
seen
me
place
the
egg
in
the
glass”
(at
the
same
time
shaking
the
glass,
to
show
by
the
sound
that
the
egg
is
still
there),
“which
I
will
not
again
touch.
I
shall
now
take
this
small
handkerchief”
(the
one
which
has
remained
on
the
table),
“and
standing
as
far
as
possible
away,
I
shall
command
the
handkerchief
to
dissolve
and
pass
into
the
glass,
and
the
egg
which
is
now
in
the
glass
to
come
into
my
hands.”
So
saying,
he
holds
up
the
handkerchief,
in
such
manner
as
to
show
indirectly
that
he
has
nothing
else
in
his
hands.
Taking
a
few
steps,
as
though
merely
to
get
further
from
the
glass,
and
holding
the
handkerchief
hanging
down
between
the
finger
and
thumb
of
the
right
hand,
he
drops
the
other
hand
to
his
side,
and
secretly
takes
from
his
pocket
the
hollow
egg,
which
he
palms,
keeping
the
opening
outwards.
He
then,
standing
with
his
left
side
towards
the
spectators,
joins
his
open
hands,
as
in
Fig.
114,
the
handkerchief
hanging
down
between
them.
