Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
436
The
performer
is
now
ready
to
begin
the
trick.
He
brings
forward
the
saucepan,
holding
it
as
in
Fig.
151,
in
which
position
the
pressure
of
the
first
and
second
fingers
on
d
prevents
it
falling
off,
as,
being
loose,
it
would
otherwise
do.
Placing
it
on
the
table,
he
mixes
the
bread,
cheese,
etc.,
on
the
plate,
and
then
pours
all
into
the
saucepan,
where,
of
course,
they
fall
into
b.
As
b
is
comparatively
shallow,
it
is
well
to
place
the
saucepan
in
some
tolerably
elevated
situation,
so
that
the
audience
may
not
be
able
to
see
into
it,
or
they
may
perceive
that
the
bread,
etc.,
do
not
fall
to
the
bottom.
The
lid
is
next
placed
on
the
saucepan.
The
hat
and
handkerchief
are
borrowed,
the
latter,
which
is
to
serve
as
fuel,
being
dropped
into
the
hat.
The
performer,
as
if
bethinking
himself
of
a
possible
difficulty,
carelessly
remarks,
“We
mustn’t
have
the
stove
too
small
for
the
saucepan;”
and
so
saying,
lifts
the
latter,
as
shown
in
Fig.
151,
and
lowers
it
for
a
moment
into
the
hat,
as
though
testing
their
relative
sizes.
In
that
moment,
however,
he
relaxes
the
pressure
of
his
fingers
on
d,
and
so
leaves
it
within
the
hat,
placing
the
saucepan
on
the
table
beside
it.
