Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
499
The
cone
in
this
case
is
about
seven
inches
high,
and
is
worked
in
conjunction
with
a
“drawer-box”
of
such
a
size
as
to
contain
it
easily.
Having
handed
round
for
inspection
the
cover
and
cone,
as
already
described,
the
performer
suddenly
remembers
that
he
requires
an
orange,
which
he
forthwith
produces
from
his
wand.
(It
is
hardly
necessary
to
observe
that
the
orange
is
beforehand
placed
in
readiness
in
one
of
the
pochettes,
and
is
produced
from
the
wand
in
the
manner
described
for
producing
a
ball.
See
page
276).
Laying
down
the
orange
on
the
table,
he
next
exhibits
the
drawer-box,
taking
the
drawer
completely
out,
and,
after
showing
it
on
all
sides,
replacing
it.
He
then
covers
the
orange
on
the
table
with
the
paper
cover
(containing
the
hollow
shell),
and
places
the
solid
cone
in
the
drawer-box,
which
being
of
the
kind
described
at
page
345,
he
turns
upon
its
side,
with
its
top
toward
the
audience.
He
meanwhile
palms
in
his
right
hand,
from
his
pocket
or
the
servante,
a
second
orange.
He
now
announces
that
he
is
about
to
take
the
orange
back
again,
which
he
does
by
passing
his
wand
up
the
side
of
the
cover,
and
immediately
producing
therefrom
the
second
orange.
He
places
this
upon
another
table
at
a
little
distance,
and
covers
it
with
a
borrowed
hat,
making
as
he
does
so
a
feint
of
removing
it,
and
slipping
it
into
his
tail
pocket.
