Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
532
The
Domino-box
is
sometimes
used
to
change
a
sovereign
to
its
equivalent
in
silver,
the
“change”
being
beforehand
wrapped
in
paper,
and
concealed
in
the
drawer.
It
is
sometimes
also
caused
to
fill
itself
with
bonbons,
in
place
of
a
coin
deposited
in
it.
These
boxes
are
usually
made
in
pairs,
alike
in
appearance,
but
the
one
is
a
simple
box
without
any
speciality,
and
may
therefore
be
handed
round
for
examination,
the
mechanical
box
being
adroitly
substituted
at
the
right
moment.
The
fact
that
two
boxes
are
used
is,
of
course,
carefully
concealed.
THE
COFFEE
TRICK.
(COFFEE
BERRIES
CHANGED
TO
HOT
COFFEE,
WHITE
BEANS
TO
SUGAR,
AND
BRAN
TO
HOT
MILK).--The
pieces
of
apparatus
used
in
this
trick
are
of
brass
or
japanned
tin,
and
are
three
in
number,
two
being
tall
cylindrical
vases,
standing
eighteen
to
twenty
inches
in
height,
the
third
a
goblet-shaped
vase,
of
about
half
that
height.
The
latter
is
made
upon
the
principle
of
the
“bran
glass,”
above
described,
consisting
of
three
portions
(see
Fig.
221),
the
goblet
a,
the
cover
c,
and
a
shallow
tray
b,
which
fits
into
the
goblet,
and
which,
if
the
cover
is
pressed
down
smartly,
and
again
removed,
is
lifted
off
with
it.
It
differs,
however,
from
the
“bran
shape”
in
the
fact
that
b
is
open
at
top
instead
of
at
bottom,
and
is
only
about
one-fifth
the
depth
of
the
goblet,
leaving
therefore
considerable
space
below
it.
This
portion
of
the
apparatus
is
prepared
for
use
by
placing
in
the
goblet
a
quantity
of
hot
milk,
putting
b
in
position
above
it,
and
finally
filling
b
with
loose
bran.
