Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
409
Some
performers,
in
lifting
each
cup
with
the
right
hand,
introduce
a
fresh
ball,
held
in
the
left
hand,
as
already
explained.
The
effect
is
the
same
as
in
the
“Multiplication”
Pass,
already
described,
with
this
difference,
that
on
each
occasion
of
uncovering
a
ball,
the
ball
remains
on
the
table,
which
thus
becomes
gradually
covered
with
an
ever-increasing
number
of
balls.
Some,
again,
conclude
by
apparently
producing
from
the
cups
objects
much
larger
than
they
could
naturally
contain,
e.g.,
large
apples,
Spanish
onions,
etc.
This
is
effected
in
the
same
manner
as
the
introduction
of
the
large
balls
just
described,
save
that
in
this
case
the
object,
which
cannot
really
go
into
the
cup,
is
merely
held
against
its
mouth
with
the
third
finger
of
the
right
hand,
and
dropped
with
a
slight
shake,
as
if
there
was
a
difficulty
in
getting
it
out.
There
are
many
other
cup-and-ball
Passes,
but
the
series
above
given
will
be
found
as
effective
as
any.
If
any
reader
desires
to
follow
the
subject
further,
we
would
refer
him
to
the
Récréations
Mathématiques
et
Physiques
of
Guyot,
already
quoted,
or
another
old
work,
under
the
same
title,
by
Ozanam,
in
which
this
branch
of
prestidigitation
is
treated
at
considerable
length.
