Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
470
He
raises
the
cover,
and
the
rice
is
seen.
“Perhaps
you
think,
as
you
did
not
see
it,
that
I
did
not
actually
pass
the
rice
from
the
vase
to
the
cover.
At
any
rate,
you
will
not
be
able
to
say
the
same
about
the
orange.
I
take
it
up,
before
your
eyes,
so!”
He
places
his
hands
round
it
on
the
table,
and
at
the
same
moment
presses
the
lever
of
the
trap,
which
opens,
and
lets
it
fall
through
into
the
table,
closing
again
instantly.
Keeping
his
hands
together,
as
though
containing
the
orange,
he
advances
to
the
vase,
and
holding
his
hands
over
it,
says,
“Here
is
the
orange
which
has
not
left
your
sight
even
for
a
single
moment.
I
gently
press
it,
so”
(bringing
the
hands
closer
and
closer
together)
“and
make
it
smaller
and
smaller,
till
it
is
reduced
to
an
invisible
powder,
in
which
state
it
passes
into
the
vase.”
He
separates
his
hands,
and
shows
them
empty,
and
then
opening
the
vase,
rolls
out
the
orange,
and
shows
the
vase
empty,
all
the
rice
having
disappeared.
The
mechanism
of
the
Wrist
Trap
will
be
explained
in
the
next
Chapter.
If
the
performer
does
not
possess
a
trap
table,
he
can
cause
the
orange
to
disappear
in
the
manner
referred
to
at
page
337.
