Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
504
The
performer,
beforehand,
nearly
fills
one
of
the
tumblers
with
water,
and
then
puts
on
the
india-rubber
cover,
which,
fitting
closely
all
round
the
edge,
effectually
prevents
the
water
escaping
(see
Fig.
201).
The
glass,
thus
prepared,
he
places
in
the
profonde
on
his
right
side.
He
then
brings
forward
the
other
glass
and
a
decanter
of
water,
and
the
prepared
handkerchief,
and
in
full
view
of
the
audience
fills
the
glass
with
water
up
to
the
same
height
as
he
has
already
filled
the
one
in
his
pocket,
and
hands
round
glass
and
water
for
inspection.
When
they
are
returned,
he
places
the
glass
upon
the
table,
a
few
inches
from
its
hinder
edge,
and
standing
behind
it,
covers
it
with
the
handkerchief,
first
spreading
out
and
showing
both
sides
of
the
latter,
proving,
to
all
appearance,
that
there
is
no
preparation
about
it.
In
placing
the
handkerchief
over
the
glass,
he
draws
it
across
in
such
manner
as
to
bring
the
hidden
ring
as
exactly
as
possible
over
the
top
of
the
glass.
Then
placing
the
left
hand
over
the
handkerchief,
as
shown
in
Fig.
202,
he
raises,
apparently,
the
glass
within
the
handkerchief,
but
really
the
empty
handkerchief
only,
which
is
kept
distended
by
the
ring,
and,
at
the
same
time,
under
cover
of
the
handkerchief,
gently
lowers
the
glass
of
water
with
the
other
hand
on
to
the
servante.
