Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
546
The
only
other
matter
which
will
require
explanation
is
the
construction
of
the
omelet
pan.
This
is
a
shallow
pan
of
brass
or
tin,
about
ten
inches
in
diameter,
by
two
and
a
half
in
depth.
Within
this
is
an
inner
pan,
also
of
brass
or
tin,
fitting
tightly
within
it,
but
about
half
an
inch
less
in
depth.
The
lid
is
made
with
a
very
deep
rim
or
shoulder
all
round,
and
just
fits
within
the
lining,
though
less
tightly
than
the
latter
fits
within
the
pan.
(See
Fig.
233,
in
which
a
represents
the
pan,
b
the
lining,
and
c
the
lid.)
The
assistant,
as
soon
as
he
gets
behind
the
scenes,
loops
the
borrowed
rings
to
the
ribbons,
which
are
already
tied
round
the
necks
of
the
three
doves,
and
places
the
latter
in
b,
immediately
putting
on
c
(the
two
together
having
the
appearance
of
a
simple
cover),
and
brings
forward
the
pan
and
cover.
The
performer
now
makes
his
omelet,
and
drops
the
substitute
rings
into
it.
In
bringing
forward
the
pan
to
show
that
the
rings
are
really
there,
he
takes
care
to
avoid
the
owners
of
them,
who
would
alone
be
likely
to
detect
the
substitution.
When
he
claps
on
the
cover,
the
trick
is
really
done,
the
firing
of
the
pistol
being
merely
for
effect.
When
the
cover
is
again
removed,
the
lining
remains
in
the
pan,
concealing
the
omelet
beneath
it,
and
revealing
the
doves,
with
the
rings
attached
to
their
necks.
