Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
370
Requesting
the
audience
to
watch
him
narrowly,
that
they
may
be
quite
sure
that
there
is
no
deception,
he
begins
to
wave
his
joined
hands
slowly
up
and
down,
the
second
and
third
fingers
of
the
right
hand
(which,
it
will
be
remembered,
is
away
from
the
audience)
meanwhile
gradually
working
the
handkerchief
into
the
hollow
of
the
egg.
He
every
now
and
then
pauses
to
show
that
the
handkerchief
is
gradually
diminishing,
and
at
last
when
it
is
wholly
worked
into
the
egg,
opens
his
hands,
and
shows
the
egg
lying
in
his
palm,
taking
care,
of
course,
that
the
opening
is
undermost.
To
all
appearance,
the
handkerchief
has
changed
into
an
egg.
“Here
is
the
egg,”
he
remarks;
“let
us
see
if
the
handkerchief
also
has
obeyed
my
bidding.”
So
saying,
he
lays
the
egg,
still
with
the
opening
downwards,
upon
the
table,
and
taking
hold
with
the
finger
and
thumb
of
the
handkerchief
which
covers
the
glass,
lifts
it
daintily
up,
carrying
with
it,
concealed
in
its
folds,
the
egg-shell
attached
thereto,
and
leaving
the
duplicate
red
handkerchief
lying
in
the
glass.
