Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
502
The
pedestal
is
prepared
for
use
by
removing
b,
and
placing
one
of
the
little
bouquets
on
the
top
of
a;
then
again
putting
on
b,
and
forcing
it
down
into
its
place,
when
the
condition
of
the
apparatus
will
be
as
shown
(in
section)
in
Fig.
199.
The
wire
arch
prevents
the
flowers
being
crushed
out
of
shape
by
the
pressure
of
the
spring.
The
pedestal
and
cover
are
now
brought
forward
and
placed
on
the
table;
also
the
cone
(with
the
shell
on),
the
paper
tube
to
cover
it,
and
the
remaining
bunch
of
flowers.
The
paper
tube
is
first
exhibited,
placed
over
the
cone,
and
removed
with
the
hollow
cone
within
it,
as
in
the
last
trick.
The
solid
cone
is
then
offered
for
examination,
and
having
been
duly
inspected,
is
placed
upon
the
pedestal.
The
performer
makes
a
movement
as
if
about
to
place
over
it
the
cover
c,
but
checks
himself
in
the
act,
and
shows
that
this
cover
is
empty
and
hollow
throughout.
He
then
puts
on
the
cover,
and
reverting
to
the
bunch
of
flowers
on
the
table,
covers
it
with
the
paper
tube.
He
next
announces
that
in
obedience
to
his
command,
the
block
and
the
bunch
of
flowers
will
change
places.
He
raises
the
paper
tube,
holding
it
by
the
top,
and
thus
leaves
behind
the
hollow
shell,
covering
and
concealing
the
bunch
of
flowers.
He
next
takes
off
the
cover
of
the
pedestal,
first,
however,
turning
the
bayonet
catch,
so
as
to
lift
off
with
the
cover
the
casing
b.
The
solid
cone
is
carried
off
between
the
casing
and
the
cover
(see
Fig.
200),
while
the
action
of
the
spring,
the
casing
being
removed,
brings
the
concealed
bunch
of
flowers
to
the
top
of
the
pedestal,
in
the
position
lately
occupied
by
the
cone.
Having
shown
that
the
cone
and
the
flowers
have
changed
places,
the
performer
next
undertakes
to
bring
them
back
to
their
original
situation,
which,
by
reversing
the
process,
he
does
without
difficulty.
