Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
485
The
second
piece
of
apparatus
is
a
caddy
(Fig.
185),
in
appearance
not
unlike
an
ordinary
tea
caddy,
with
three
equal-sized
compartments,
each
having
its
own
lid.
Upon
close
inspection
it
will
be
discovered
that
the
internal
depth
of
these
compartments
is
somewhat
shallow
in
comparison
with
the
external
measurement
of
the
caddy,
leaving
a
space
about
an
inch
deep
between
the
inner
and
outer
bottoms.
A
sliding
drawer,
working
from
end
to
end
of
the
caddy,
as
already
explained,
occupies
the
space
of
two
compartments.
Supposing
this
for
the
moment
removed,
it
would
be
found
that
the
external
caddy,
in
the
space
occupied
by
the
two
end
compartments,
a
and
c,
has
a
false
bottom
covering
the
hollow
space
we
have
already
mentioned,
but
that
the
space
occupied
by
the
middle
compartment
b
has
none.
Of
the
two
moveable
compartments,
which
together
constitute
the
sliding
tray
already
mentioned
(see
Fig.
186),
the
one
d
has
a
bottom,
the
other
e
has
not.
When
the
sliding
drawer
is
in
its
proper
position
in
the
caddy,
and
is
pushed
as
far
as
it
will
go
towards
the
one
or
the
other
end,
the
result
is
as
follows:--If
it
is
pushed
to
the
right,
the
bottomless
compartment
e
occupies
the
space
at
that
end,
under
lid
c,
while
the
opening
in
the
false
bottom
of
the
caddy
is,
for
the
time
being,
closed
by
the
bottom
of
d,
which
now
occupies
the
middle
space.
If
the
sliding
tray
is
pushed
to
the
opposite
end
(i.e.,
to
the
left),
d
will
occupy
the
space
a
at
that
end,
while
the
bottomless
compartment
e,
being
over
the
opening,
gives
access
to
the
space
beneath.
