Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
464
Having
filled
the
coffer,
and
remarking,
“Pray
observe
that
it
is
quite
full,”
he
(before
removing
it
from
the
box)
covers
it
with
the
lid,
and
then
lifting
it
out,
again
places
it
behind
the
box
in
such
manner
as
to
go
neatly
over
the
bottom
and
the
orange
upon
it.
(Of
course,
in
the
act
of
lifting
the
coffer,
all
the
contents
run
back
again
into
the
box.)
Having
now
got
the
second
orange
within
the
coffer,
and
having,
by
a
gentle
pressure,
again
settled
the
bottom
in
its
place,
the
performer
places
the
coffer
on
a
second
table
or
a
chair
close
in
front
of
the
audience.
He
then
says,
“I
am
about
to
order
the
bran
with
which
this
coffer
is
filled”
(here
he
raises
the
lid
without
the
false
top,
and
the
coffer
therefore
appears
full
of
bran)
“to
pass
back
again
into
the
box
from
which
it
was
taken,
and
this
orange”
(here
he
passes
behind
his
table,
and
holding
up
the
orange,
replaces
it
six
or
eight
inches
from
the
hinder
edge)
“to
pass
into
the
coffer
in
place
of
it.
Now,
first
for
the
bran.
One,
two,
three!
Pass!
Did
you
see
it
fly
from
the
coffer
into
the
box?
You
didn’t?
Well,
at
any
rate,
you
shall
see
the
orange
pass.
I
take
it
up
so”
(here
he
places
his
two
hands
round
it,
and
rolls
it
on
to
the
servante
in
manner
described
at
page
294,
coming
forward
with
the
hands
together,
as
though
still
containing
it,
and
holding
them
over
the
coffer
at
a
few
inches’
distance),
“and
squeeze
it
smaller
and
smaller,
in
this
manner,
till
it
becomes
small
enough
to
pass
right
into
the
coffer,
as
you
see.”
Here
he
separates
his
hands,
showing
them
empty,
and
immediately
taking
off
the
cover
with
the
false
top,
rolls
out
the
orange,
and
shows
that
the
coffer
is
otherwise
empty.
