Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
469
The
trick
is
now
all
but
complete.
Once
more
the
performer
raises
the
cone
placed
on
the
hat,
to
show
that
there
is
nothing
underneath
it;
and
as
he
replaces
it
presses
the
button,
thereby
letting
the
flap
fall,
and
the
rice
pour
out
upon
the
hat,
though
it
remains
still
concealed
by
the
cone.
He
next
lifts
up
the
cone
under
which
is
the
orange,
and
holding
the
latter
up,
replaces
it,
but
in
again
covering
it
with
the
cone,
makes
a
feint
of
removing
and
slipping
it
into
his
pocket.
Then
noticing,
or
pretending
to
notice,
a
murmur
on
the
part
of
the
company,
he
says,
“Oh,
you
think
I
took
away
the
orange,
but
I
assure
you
I
did
not.”
The
company
being
still
incredulous,
he
again
lifts
the
cone
and
shows
the
orange.
“Here
it
is,
you
see,
but
as
you
are
so
suspicious,
I
won’t
use
the
cover
at
all,
but
leave
the
orange
here
in
full
view
on
the
table.”
He
again
lays
the
orange
on
the
table,
but
this
time
on
what
is
called
a
“wrist
trap.”
Leaving
it
for
the
moment,
he
advances
to
the
vase,
and
holding
his
hands
together
cup-fashion
over
it,
but
without
touching
it,
he
says,
“I
take
out
the
rice,
so,
and
pass
it
under
this
cover”
(walking
towards
the
cone
on
the
hat,
and
making
a
motion
of
passing
something
into
it).
“Let
us
see
whether
it
has
passed.”
