Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
505
This
is
by
no
means
difficult,
as
the
pretended
carefulness
of
the
operator
not
to
spill
the
water
allows
him
to
make
the
upward
movement
of
the
left
hand
as
deliberate
as
he
pleases.
All
that
is
really
necessary
is
to
take
care
to
follow
with
his
eyes
the
movement
of
the
left
hand,
which
will
infallibly
draw
the
eyes
and
the
minds
of
the
audience
in
the
same
direction.
Having
raised
the
supposed
tumbler
to
a
height
of
about
two
feet
from
the
table,
the
performer
brings
it
forward
to
the
audience,
and
requests
that
some
gentleman
with
a
steady
hand
will
favour
him
with
his
assistance.
A
volunteer
having
been
found,
and
having
given
satisfactory
replies
as
to
the
steadiness
of
his
nerves,
and
the
strength
of
his
constitution
generally,
is
requested
to
place
his
hand
under
the
handkerchief
and
take
the
glass.
As
he
proceeds
to
obey,
the
performer
lets
go
of
the
handkerchief
with
the
left
hand,
still
retaining
one
corner
with
the
right,
and
lets
the
right
arm
with
the
handkerchief
drop
to
his
side.
Pretending
to
believe
that
the
gentleman
has
taken
the
glass,
and
not
to
notice
its
disappearance,
he
turns
carelessly
aside,
and
brings
forward
a
small
table
or
chair,
saying,
“Put
it
here,
please.”
Looking,
generally,
somewhat
foolish,
the
victim
replies
that
he
has
not
got
it.
