Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
563
The
reader,
with
his
present
knowledge,
will
probably
have
already
conjectured
the
mode
in
which
the
bouquet
is
brought
into
the
glass.
It
is
beforehand
placed
at
the
left
hand
corner
of
the
servante,
the
stem
slanting
upwards
at
an
angle
of
about
45°.
When
the
performer,
standing
at
the
left
hand
side
of
the
table,
drops
the
imaginary
seed
into
the
glass
with
his
left
hand,
his
right,
holding
the
hat,
drops
for
a
moment
to
the
level
of
the
table,
and
clips
between
the
second
and
third
fingers
the
stem
of
the
bouquet,
when,
by
simply
bending
the
fingers,
the
bouquet
is
brought
into
the
hat
after
the
manner
of
the
cannon-ball.
(See
page
305.)
When
the
hat
is
placed
over
the
glass,
the
bouquet
is
naturally
brought
into
the
latter.
We
may
here
mention
that
there
are
bouquets
of
a
special
and
rather
ingenious
construction,
enabling
the
performer,
in
the
act
of
producing
the
bouquet
from
a
hat
in
the
above
or
any
similar
trick,
to
cause
it
suddenly
to
expand
to
three
or
four
times
its
original
size.
The
bouquet
is
in
this
case
made
of
artificial
flowers,
stitched
on
a
framework
forming
a
kind
of
miniature
parasol,
with
a
very
short
handle.
The
bouquet,
when
introduced
into
the
hat,
has
a
slightly
conical
shape,
but
the
performer
in
withdrawing
it
puts
up
the
parasol,
so
to
speak,
thereby
spreading
it
to
twelve
or
fourteen
inches’
diameter.
