Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
521
A
juvenile
is
invited
to
take
a
glass
of
wine,
the
produce
of
either
of
the
preceding
tricks.
When
he
has
imbibed
it,
the
performer
asks
a
second
juvenile
whether
he
would
like
a
glass
also.
The
reply
is
pretty
sure
to
be
in
the
affirmative,
but
the
performer
pretends
to
find,
when
about
to
oblige
him,
that
his
store
is
exhausted.
He
begins
to
apologize
for
the
supposed
disappointment,
but
as
if
suddenly
bethinking
himself,
says,
“However,
you
shan’t
be
disappointed.
If
I
can’t
supply
you
in
the
natural
way,
I
must
do
so
in
a
supernatural
way.
Suppose
we
take
back
the
wine
this
young
gentleman
has
just
drunk.
I
don’t
suppose
it
will
be
any
the
worse.
Let
me
see,
where
is
my
magic
funnel.
Oh,
here
it
is.
Let
us
make
sure
first
that
it
is
quite
clean.”
He
pours
water
through
it,
and
then
holds
it
up
to
the
light
in
such
a
manner
that
the
audience
can
see
right
through,
thus
indirectly
showing
them
that
it
is
empty.
“Now,
sir”
(addressing
the
youngster
who
has
drunk
the
glass
of
wine),
“I
am
going
to
take
back
that
glass
of
wine.
Be
kind
enough
to
bend
your
elbow,
and
hold
it
over
the
mouth
of
the
funnel,
so.
And
you,
sir”
(addressing
the
expectant),
“perhaps
you
will
be
kind
enough
to
take
this
young
gentleman’s
other
arm,
and
work
it
gently
up
and
down.
In
fact,
we
are
going
to
transform
him
into
a
pump.
Now,
sir.”
The
performer
holds
the
glass
under
the
funnel,
and
as
soon
as
the
pretended
pumping
begins,
opens
the
air-hole,
when
the
wine
runs
into
the
glass,
and
is
handed
to
the
second
young
gentleman
as
a
reward
for
his
exertions.
