Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
407
When
you
raise
the
third
cup,
you
move
it
behind
the
table
as
before,
and
make
a
feint
of
introducing
the
ball
which
the
spectators
have
just
seen,
but
really
let
it
drop
on
the
servante,
and
replace
the
cup
empty.
A
murmur
from
the
audience
will
quickly
apprise
you
that
they
have,
as
they
imagine,
found
you
out.
Looking
as
innocent
as
you
can,
you
inquire
what
is
the
matter,
and
are
informed
that
you
were
seen
to
introduce
a
ball
into
the
cup.
“I
beg
your
pardon,”
you
reply,
lifting
up,
however,
not
A,
which
you
have
just
replaced,
but
C,
which
is
the
farthest
remote
from
it.
There
is
really
a
ball
in
this
cup,
but
having
been
pressed
in,
and
fitting
tightly,
it
does
not
fall.
The
audience,
seeing
you
raise
the
wrong
cup,
are
more
and
more
confirmed
in
their
suspicion.
“Not
that
one,
the
other,”
they
exclaim.
You
next
raise
B,
the
ball
in
which
also
does
not
fall,
for
the
reason
already
stated.
“No,
no,”
the
audience
shout,
“the
other
cup,
the
end
one.”
“You
are
really
very
obstinate,
gentlemen,”
you
reply,
“but
pray
satisfy
yourselves,”
turning
over
A
as
you
speak,
and
showing
the
inside,
which
is
manifestly
empty,
and
your
critics
rapidly
subside.
Meanwhile,
you
drop
your
left
hand
to
the
servante,
and
secretly
take
from
it
two
similar
balls.
