Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
480
The
apparatus
is
prepared
beforehand
by
placing
a
given
card
(say
the
knave
of
spades)
above
the
moveable
slab,
and
another
(say
the
eight
of
diamonds)
in
the
outer
drawer.
The
performer
invites
two
persons
to
each
draw
a
card,
and
“forces”
upon
them
the
knave
of
spades
and
eight
of
diamonds.
The
cards
being
replaced
in
the
pack,
he,
if
he
has
used
an
ordinary
pack,
brings
them
to
the
top
by
the
“pass,”
and
palms
them,
or
if
he
has
used
a
forcing
pack,
exchanges
that
pack
for
an
ordinary
one
from
which
those
two
cards
have
been
removed.
Leaving
the
pack
on
the
table,
he
exhibits
the
card-drawer,
taking
out
both
drawers
together,
and
showing,
apparently,
that
case
and
drawer
are
absolutely
empty.
Closing
the
drawer,
he
announces
that
he
will
make
the
drawn
cards
leave
the
pack,
and
pass
into
the
drawer.
One
of
the
cards
(the
eight
of
diamonds)
is
named,
and
pulling
out
this
time
the
outer
drawer
only,
he
shows
that
it
contains
that
card,
which
is
taken
out,
and
handed
to
the
person
who
drew
it.
Again
the
drawer
is
closed,
being
this
time
pushed
sharply
home.
The
second
card,
the
knave,
being
now
named,
the
drawer
is
again
opened,
and
this
card
shown;
the
drawer
being
again
taken
wholly
out,
and
the
drawer
and
case
turned
in
all
directions
for
inspection,
as
before,
the
operator
only
taking
care
to
hold
the
drawer
with
one
finger
inside,
that
the
moveable
slab
may
not,
by
falling
out,
betray
its
presence.
