Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
568
Here,
as
you
see,
is
a
little
glass”
(he
raises
the
shade
with
the
left
hand),
“perfectly
empty.
I
shall
now,
by
virtue
of
my
magic
power,
order
the
articles
in
the
box,
whatever
they
may
be,
to
leave
the
box,
and
fall
into
this
little
glass,
and
I
will
tell
you
by
the
sound
of
each
as
it
falls
what
the
article
is.
Let
us
try
the
experiment.
First
article,
pass!”
The
assistant
pulls
a,
and
the
little
hammer
c
forthwith
strikes
the
glass,
simulating
to
some
extent
the
sound
of
a
small
article
falling
therein.
“That,
by
the
sound,
should
be
a
coin,
I
should
say
a
florin.
Hold
tight,
sir,
please.
Second
article,
pass!”
Again
the
assistant
causes
the
hammer
to
strike
the
glass.
“That,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
is
a
ring.
You
must
hold
tighter
yet,
sir,
if
you
mean
to
defy
my
power.
Third
article,
pass!”
This
time
the
assistant
pulls
b,
causing
the
ladle
d
to
rise,
and
to
shoot
out
the
three
articles
together
into
the
glass.
“That,
I
should
say,
was
a
lady’s
locket.
Fourth
article,
pass!”
(This
is
a
mere
blind,
and
elicits
no
response.)
“Ladies
and
gentlemen,
there
were
three
articles
placed
in
the
box,
a
ring,
a
florin,
and
a
locket,
and
you
will
find
that
they
have
now
all
passed
into
the
glass.”
(He
removes
the
shade,
and
shows
that
they
have
done
so.)
“May
I
trouble
you
once
more
to
shake
the
box?”
