Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
534
The
vases
are
prepared
by
pressing
down
d
in
each
as
shown
by
the
dotted
lines
in
Fig.
223,
and
filling
the
well
of
the
one
with
hot
coffee,
and
that
of
the
other
with
loaf-sugar.
Their
respective
covers
are
then
placed
over
them.
The
attention
of
the
audience
is
first
directed
to
a
couple
of
wooden
boxes,
each
about
half
as
long
again
as
the
vases,
and
ten
or
twelve
inches
in
depth,
one
of
which
is
filled
with
coffee-berries,
and
the
other
with
white
haricot
beans.
The
performer
now
uncovers
the
vase
which
contains
the
coffee,
first
turning
the
bayonet-catch
so
as
to
lift
off
the
well
b
with
the
cover,
and
shows,
by
holding
the
vase
upside
down
and
rattling
his
wand
within
it,
that
it
is
perfectly
empty.
He
now
fills
it
with
coffee-berries,
laying
it
down
in
the
box
to
do
so,
and
holding
it
by
the
foot
with
one
hand
while
he
shovels
the
berries
into
it
with
the
other.
Having
completely
filled
it
with
the
berries,
he
holds
it
aloft,
and,
to
show
that
there
is
“no
deception,”
tilts
it,
and
lets
them
run
back
again
into
the
box.
Again
he
dips
it
into
the
box,
but,
as
he
does
so,
releases
the
crook
(which
the
fingers
of
the
hand
holding
the
vase
are
just
in
position
to
do),
and
thus
lets
d
fly
up
to
the
top
of
the
vase.
