Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
551
These
he
hands
for
examination,
taking
back
the
set
of
two,
and
linking
them
one
after
the
other
into
the
key
ring,
to
which
now
four
rings
are
attached.
Again
taking
back
the
set
of
three,
he
links
these
also
one
by
one
into
the
key
ring,
which
thus
has
seven
rings
inserted
in
it.
(See
Fig.
239.)
Using
both
hands,
but
always
keeping
the
opening
of
the
key
ring
under
one
or
the
other
thumb,
he
now
takes
off
these
seven
rings,
commencing
with
the
two
single
ones,
and
again
offering
them
for
examination;
then
taking
off
the
set
of
two.
Last
of
all,
he
unlinks
the
set
of
three,
and
then,
holding
them
at
length
in
his
left
hand,
joins
the
upper
one
to
the
key
ring,
thus
making
a
chain
of
four,
of
which
the
key
ring
is
the
uppermost.
He
next
takes
the
lowermost
ring
of
the
four,
and
links
that
into
the
key
ring,
bringing
the
four
rings
into
a
diamond
shape,
as
shown
in
Fig.
240.
Again
unlinking
the
lower
ring,
he
takes
up
the
set
of
two,
and
connects
them
with
the
key
ring,
holding
them
up
above
it,
thus
making
a
chain
of
six,
the
key
ring
being
third
from
the
top.
(See
Fig.
241.)
Taking
the
upper
ring
between
his
teeth,
he
links
the
two
single
rings
into
the
key
ring
on
either
side,
making
the
figure
of
a
cross,
as
shown
in
Fig.
242.
As
the
hands
are
now
occupied
in
holding
the
single
rings
forming
the
arms
of
the
cross,
he
can
no
longer
keep
the
opening
of
the
key
ring
concealed
by
the
thumb,
but
it
is
extremely
unlikely
that
among
so
many
rings,
so
slight
a
mark
in
one
of
them
will
attract
notice.
Regaining
possession
of
the
key
ring,
he
links
all
one
by
one
into
it,
so
as
again
to
bring
them
into
the
condition
depicted
in
Fig.
239.
Then,
holding
the
key
ring
with
both
hands,
and
with
the
opening
downwards,
about
a
couple
of
feet
from
the
floor
(see
Fig.
243),
he
shakes
the
rings
violently,
at
the
same
time
gently
straining
open
the
key
ring,
when
the
seven
rings
will
all
in
succession
drop
through
the
slit,
and
scatter
themselves
about
the
floor,
the
general
impression
being
that
they
all
fall
separate,
though
the
grouped
sets,
of
course,
remain
still
united.
