Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
438
A
guinea-pig
or
small
kitten
may
be
substituted
for
the
rabbit,
the
performer
accounting
for
the
wrong
animal
being
produced
by
supposing
that
he
must
have
made
some
mistake
in
mixing
the
ingredients.
CHAPTER
XVI.
MISCELLANEOUS
TRICKS.
Under
this
head
we
propose
to
describe
such
tricks
as
do
not
come
within
either
of
the
preceding
categories.
We
shall
make
no
attempt
at
classifying
them,
save
that
we
shall,
as
far
as
practicable,
describe
the
best
known
and
simplest
feats
first,
and
thence
proceed
to
the
more
complicated.
Stage
tricks,
i.e.,
tricks
adapted
to
the
stage
only,
will
be
treated
in
the
Chapter
next
following.
We
will
begin
with
THE
CUT
STRING
RESTORED.--This
is
a
trick
of
such
venerable
antiquity,
that
we
should
not
have
ventured
to
allude
to
it,
were
it
not
that
the
mode
of
working
which
we
are
about
to
describe,
though
old
in
principle,
is
new
in
detail,
and
much
superior
in
neatness
to
the
generally
known
methods.
