Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
385
Third
Method.--The
third
method
is
that
which
was
adopted
by
the
celebrated
Bosco,
a
most
accomplished
performer
with
the
cup
and
balls.
Being
accustomed
to
use
balls
of
a
larger
size
than
those
above
described,
and
therefore
too
bulky
to
palm
by
the
first
method,
he
used
to
hold
them
by
means
of
a
slight
contraction
of
the
little
finger.
(See
Fig.
122.)
The
necessary
movement
of
the
fingers
to
place
the
ball
in
position
is
nearly
the
same
as
by
the
first
method.
2.
TO
REPRODUCE
THE
PALMED
BALL
AT
THE
END
OF
THE
FINGERS.--The
mode
of
doing
this
will
vary
according
to
the
method
by
which
the
ball
is
palmed.
If
according
to
the
first
or
third
method,
the
ball
is
simply
rolled
back
to
the
finger-tips
with
the
ball
of
the
thumb,
exactly
reversing
the
process
by
which
it
was
palmed.
But
if
the
ball
was
palmed
by
the
second
method,
it
is,
for
the
time
being,
not
get-at-able
by
the
ball
of
the
thumb.
In
this
case
the
first
step
is
to
close
the
third
and
fourth
fingers
upon
the
ball
(see
Fig.
123),
and
therewith
roll
it
to
the
position
shown
in
Fig.
122,
when
the
thumb
is
enabled
to
reach
it,
and
to
roll
it
to
the
finger-tips
in
the
manner
just
described.
