Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
404
There
is,
of
course,
a
ball
left
under
each
of
the
cups,
and
a
fourth
palmed
in
your
right
hand.
This
latter
will
not
again
be
wanted,
and
you
should
therefore,
while
attention
is
drawn
to
the
hat,
drop
it
upon
the
servante,
or
into
one
of
your
pochettes.
PASS
XI.
TO
TRANSFORM
THE
SMALL
BALLS
TO
LARGER
ONES.--While
the
attention
of
the
spectators
is
still
occupied
by
the
unexpected
dénouement
of
the
last
Pass,
you
should
prepare
for
this
one
by
secretly
taking
with
your
right
hand
from
the
servante,
and
palming
(by
either
the
second
or
third
method,
the
first
being
only
available
for
the
small
balls)
one
of
the
larger
balls.
You
then
address
the
spectators
to
the
following
effect:--“Ladies
and
gentlemen,
you
see
that
I
have
little
difficulty
in
increasing
the
number
of
the
balls
to
an
unlimited
extent.
I
will
now
repeat
the
experiment
in
another
form,
and
show
you
that
it
is
equally
easy
to
make
them
increase
in
size.
You
will
observe
that,
notwithstanding
the
number
of
balls
which
I
have
just
produced
from
the
cups,
there
are
still
plenty
more
to
come.”
Here
you
raise
C,
and
show
that
there
is
a
ball
still
under
it.
You
replace
it
on
the
table
at
a
few
inches’
distance,
and
as
you
do
so,
secretly
introduce
under
it
the
larger
ball
which
you
have
just
palmed.
Taking
up
the
small
ball
in
your
right
hand,
you
say,
“To
make
the
experiment
still
more
surprising,
I
will
pass
the
ball
upwards
through
the
table
into
the
cup.”
So
saying,
you
place
the
right
hand
under
the
table,
dropping
as
you
do
so
the
little
ball
which
you
hold
on
the
servante,
and
taking
in
its
place
another
of
the
larger
balls.
