PASS
VIII.
TO
PASS
TWO
BALLS
IN
SUCCESSION
FROM
ONE
CUP
TO
ANOTHER
WITHOUT
TOUCHING
THEM.--You
again
place
the
three
cups
in
a
row
on
the
table,
secretly
introducing
under
the
right
hand
cup
(C)
the
ball
which
remained
in
your
right
hand
at
the
close
of
the
last
Pass,
and
then
openly
place
the
three
other
balls
on
the
tops
of
the
three
cups.
You
then
proceed,
“I
will
take
this
ball”
(that
which
is
on
B),
“and
place
it
under
this
same
cup”
(B).
You
really
palm
it.
“I
take
this
other
ball”
(that
which
is
upon
A),
“and
place
it
under
this
cup”
(A).
You
secretly
introduce
with
it
the
ball
which
you
have
just
palmed.
“I
take
this
last”
(that
upon
C),
“and
place
it
under
this
goblet
(A);
or,
stay,
I
will
pass
it
invisibly
to
this
one”
(C)--really
palming
it.
“It
has
passed,
you
see.”
You
lift
C,
and
show
the
ball
which
is
already
there;
and
in
again
covering
the
ball
with
the
cup,
you
secretly
introduce
that
which
you
last
palmed.
You
now
have
in
reality
two
balls
under
each
of
the
end
cups,
and
none
under
the
centre
one;
but
the
spectators
are
persuaded
that
there
is
one
ball
under
each
cup.
“We
now
have
one
ball
under
each
cup.
Now
I
shall
command
the
ball
that
is
under
the
centre
cup
to
pass
into
either
of
the
end
ones
at
your
pleasure.
Which
shall
it
be?”
Whichever
is
chosen,
suppose
C,
you
raise
and
show
the
two
balls
under
it.
You
then
ostensibly
replace
the
two
balls
under
C,
but
really
replace
the
one
only,
palming
the
other.
You
then
raise
the
middle
cup
(B),
to
show
that
it
is
empty,
and,
in
replacing
it,
introduce
the
ball
you
have
just
palmed
under
it.
“Now
I
shall
next
order
one
of
the
two
balls
you
have
just
seen
under
this
cup
(C)
to
go
and
join
the
one
which
is
already
under
this
other
(A).
Pass!
Here
it
is,
you
observe.”
You
raise
A
to
show
that
there
are
two
balls
under
it.
You
also
raise
C
to
show
that
it
now
only
contains
one
ball,
and
leave
all
three
balls
exposed
on
the
table.
