Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
474
As
a
matter
of
convenience,
we
shall,
before
proceeding
further
with
the
explanation
of
individual
tricks,
describe
two
or
three
pieces
of
apparatus
of
general
utility,
to
one
or
other
of
which
we
shall
have
frequent
occasion
to
subsequently
refer.
THE
DRAWER-BOX.--This
is
a
piece
of
apparatus
of
very
frequent
use
in
the
magic
art.
In
appearance
it
is
an
ordinary
drawer,
with
an
outer
box
or
case
of
walnut
or
mahogany
(see
Fig.
169),
and
is
made
of
various
dimensions,
according
to
the
size
of
the
articles
with
which
it
is
intended
to
be
used,
and
which
may
range
from
a
pack
of
cards
to
a
live
rabbit.
Its
use
is
to
produce
or
to
cause
the
disappearance
of
a
given
article;
the
drawer
having
the
faculty
of
appearing
full
or
empty
at
pleasure.
