Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
527
Where
the
bran
glass
is
of
large
size,
the
metal
cover
is
indispensable;
but
for
glasses
not
exceeding
the
ordinary
tumbler
size,
it
is
preferable
to
cover
the
glass
with
a
borrowed
handkerchief
only,
the
hollow
shape
being
in
this
case
made,
not
of
tin,
but
of
thin
cardboard.
The
two
points
are
dispensed
with,
but
in
place
of
them
there
should
be
a
piece
of
thread,
in
length
about
double
the
diameter
of
the
glass,
fastened
from
side
to
side
of
the
shape.
This,
hanging
down
on
the
side
of
the
glass
which
is
toward
the
performer,
is
caught
hold
of
through
the
handkerchief,
and
thus
handkerchief
and
shape
are
lifted
together.
The
Bran
Glass
may
be
made
available
in
a
variety
of
ways;
the
trick
next
following
will
afford
a
good
practical
illustration
of
its
use.
TO
FIRE
BORROWED
RINGS
FROM
A
PISTOL,
AND
MAKE
THEM
PASS
INTO
A
GOBLET
FILLED
WITH
BRAN
AND
COVERED
WITH
A
HANDKERCHIEF,
THE
BRAN
DISAPPEARING,
AND
BEING
FOUND
ELSEWHERE.--The
glass
used
in
this
instance
is
of
ordinary
tumbler
size.
It
is
not
brought
forward
as
above,
with
the
bran
shape
already
in
place,
but
empty,
and
may
therefore
be
freely
offered
for
inspection.
With
it
is
brought
forward
a
wooden
box,
of
any
size
and
shape,
filled
with
bran,
and
in
this,
ready
to
hand,
is
concealed
the
bran
shape.
We
have
already
had
occasion
to
describe
the
magic
pistol,
or
rather
pistol
tube;
but
the
tube
used
in
this
instance
(see
Fig.
217)
has
an
additional
peculiarity.
It
is
of
comparatively
small
size,
being
about
two
inches
wide
at
the
mouth.
Within
this
mouth
fits
easily
a
tin
cup,
a,
about
an
inch
and
three-quarters
in
depth,
and
having
its
edge
turned
over
outwards
all
round,
so
as
to
afford
a
ready
grip
to
the
palm
when
it
may
be
necessary
to
remove
it.
The
pistol
is
beforehand
loaded
with
powder,
and
the
cup
above
described
is
placed
in
the
mouth
of
the
tube.
