Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
377
It
is
obvious
that
this
is
a
trick
which
cannot
be
repeated,
as
the
necessary
rearrangement
of
the
dominoes
would
at
once
attract
attention.
You
may,
however,
volunteer
to
repeat
it
in
a
still
more
surprising
form,
really
performing
in
its
place
the
trick
next
following,
one
of
the
best,
though
also
one
of
the
simplest,
in
the
whole
range
of
the
magic
art.
TO
ALLOW
ANY
PERSON
IN
YOUR
ABSENCE
TO
ARRANGE
THE
DOMINOES
IN
A
ROW,
FACE
DOWNWARDS,
AND
ON
YOUR
RETURN
TO
NAME
BLINDFOLD,
OR
WITHOUT
ENTERING
THE
ROOM,
THE
END
NUMBERS
OF
THE
ROW.--You
invite
the
audience
to
select
any
one
of
their
number
to
arrange
the
whole
of
the
dominoes
face
downwards
upon
the
table.
This
he
may
do
in
any
manner
he
pleases,
the
only
restriction
being
that
he
is
to
arrange
them
after
the
fashion
of
the
game
of
dominoes--viz.,
so
that
a
six
shall
be
coupled
with
a
six,
and
a
four
with
a
four,
and
so
on.
While
he
does
this,
you
leave
the
room,
and,
on
being
recalled,
you
at
once
pronounce,
either
blindfold,
or
(if
the
audience
prefer
it)
without
even
entering
the
room,
that
the
extreme
end
numbers
of
the
row
are
six
and
five,
five
and
two,
etc.,
as
the
case
may
be.
