Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
483
The
trick
next
described
will
introduce
to
the
reader
a
changing
caddy
of
another
and
special
construction.
THE
MAGIC
VASE
AND
CADDY.
(To
make
peas
change
places
with
a
handkerchief.)--For
this
trick
two
special
pieces
of
apparatus
are
necessary.
The
first
is
a
tin
vase,
of
the
shape
shown
in
Fig.
183,
and
generally
of
about
ten
inches
in
height.
It
consists
of
three
parts,
the
vase
proper
a,
the
cover
b,
and
a
moveable
compartment
or
well,
c,
which
is
constructed
upon
a
principle
which
we
have
had
frequent
occasion
to
notice,
the
cylindrical
portion
of
a
passing
between
the
inner
and
outer
wall
of
this
moveable
compartment.
It
is
coloured
exactly
similar
to
that
portion
of
a
which
it
covers,
which
therefore
looks
exactly
the
same
to
the
ordinary
spectator,
whether
c
be
in
its
place
or
removed.
The
internal
depth,
however,
of
c
is
little
more
than
half
as
deep
as
that
of
the
actual
vase,
a.
The
cover
b
exactly
fits
over
c,
and
by
means
of
a
little
appliance
called
a
“bayonet-catch,”
will
either
lift
c
with
it
when
removed,
or
release
c
and
leave
it
upon
a.
