Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
49
Some
persons
are
in
the
habit
of
making
the
genuine
shuffle,
of
which
the
above
is
an
imitation,
from
the
right
hand
to
the
left
instead
of
from
the
left
hand
to
the
right,
as
above
described.
It
may
be
stated,
once
for
all,
that
wherever
it
is
found
more
easy
by
the
student
to
do
with
the
right
hand
that
which
he
is
here
instructed
to
do
with
the
left,
and
vice
versâ,
there
is
not
the
least
objection
to
his
doing
so,
though
the
mode
here
indicated
is
that
which,
it
is
believed,
will
be
found
most
convenient
by
the
generality
of
persons.
Fourth
Method.
(To
retain
the
whole
pack
in
a
pre-arranged
order.)--Take
the
upper
half
of
the
pack
in
the
right
hand
and
the
lower
half
in
the
left,
the
thumb
in
each
case
being
above
and
the
fingers
below
the
cards.
Place
the
two
portions
edge
to
edge,
and
work
in
the
edges
of
the
cards
in
the
right
hand
half
an
inch
or
so
between
the
edges
of
those
in
the
left,
spreading
the
cards
in
the
meanwhile
to
facilitate
the
introduction;
but
let
the
right
hand
cards
project
about
an
inch
above
the
top
edges
of
those
in
the
left
hand.
(See
Fig.
13.[A])
If
you
were
to
close
up
the
cards
in
the
relative
positions
they
now
occupy,
they
would
be
really
shuffled.
To
prevent
their
being
so
in
fact,
as
well
as
in
appearance,
you
clip
lengthways
between
the
thumb
and
second
finger
of
the
right
hand
the
cards
of
the
packet
on
that
side,
and
bend
them
sharply
downwards
and
outwards.
This
again
disengages
them
from
the
other
packet,
on
the
top
of
which
you
quickly
slide
them,
and
press
the
whole
square.
