Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
524
This
time,
however,
he
makes
an
exchange,
and
instead
of
bringing
up
A,
brings
up
B,
filling
as
he
does
so
the
shallow
space
at
the
top
of
the
latter,
which
thus
appears
to
be
full
to
the
brim.
Placing
it
on
the
table,
and
putting
the
lid
on,
he
places
the
pasteboard
cover
over
it,
and,
addressing
the
company,
volunteers
to
teach
them
how
to
extract
wine
from
bran,
and
wine
bottles
from
tin
boxes.
After
a
moment’s
pause,
and
the
orthodox
touch
with
the
wand,
he
removes
the
cover,
giving
it
at
the
same
time
a
slight
twist,
thus
releasing
the
catch,
and
removing
B
within
the
cover.
The
spring
within
the
bottle
now
meeting
no
resistance,
presses
the
neck
portion
upwards
into
its
proper
position,
with
all
the
appearance
of
a
genuine
bottle;
and
as
it,
in
its
present
condition,
is
considerably
taller
than
B,
it
can
hardly
be
suspected
that
it
was
a
moment
ago
concealed
in
the
latter,
particularly
as
the
performer
immediately
proceeds
to
give
a
further
proof
of
its
genuineness
by
pouring
a
glass
of
wine
from
it.
In
connection
with
the
above
trick
we
may
describe
another
useful
piece
of
apparatus,
known
as
