Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
449
The
left
hand
glove
is
got
rid
of
by
palming.
The
performer,
standing
behind
his
table
as
already
mentioned,
rolling
the
glove
between
his
hands,
and
quickly
twisting
the
fingers
inside,
so
as
to
bring
it
into
more
manageable
form,
pretends
to
place
it
in
his
left
hand,
but
really
palms
it
in
his
right.
He
now
lowers
the
right
hand
to
pick
up
his
wand,
and
as
the
hand
reaches
the
table,
drops
the
glove
on
the
servante.
He
now
touches
the
left
hand
with
the
wand,
in
due
course
opening
the
hand
and
showing
that
the
glove
has
departed.
Some
performers
vanish
both
gloves
by
means
of
elastic,
one
up
the
right
sleeve,
the
other
up
the
left,
but
in
doing
so
they
offend
against
one
of
the
cardinal
precepts
of
the
art,
viz.,
never
to
perform
the
same
trick
twice
in
succession
by
the
same
means.
The
audience
having
seen
the
manner
of
the
first
disappearance,
are
all
on
the
alert,
and
are
not
unlikely
on
the
second
occasion
to
guess
the
means
employed.
If,
on
the
other
hand,
the
performer
adopts
the
plan
indicated
above,
the
two
modes
of
producing
the
effect
being
different,
each
renders
it
more
difficult
to
discover
the
secret
of
the
other.
THE
EGG-BAG.--This
is
a
very
old-fashioned
trick,
but,
if
performed
with
address,
is
by
no
means
ineffective.
It
was
exhibited
in
a
modified
form
by
the
Japanese
jugglers
who
visited
London
a
few
years
ago.
We
shall
first
describe
it
in
the
simple
form
adopted
by
them,
and
shall
then
proceed
to
explain
the
older
and
more
elaborate
version.
