Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
571
He
places
the
cover
over
it,
as
if
merely
suiting
the
action
to
the
word,
and
in
again
removing
it,
leaves
the
tin
die
over
the
solid
one.
“If
any
one
would
like
to
examine
it,
he
is
perfectly
welcome
to
do
so.
I
have
here
also
two
hats,
borrowed
haphazard
from
the
audience,
and,
as
you
can
all
see,
perfectly
empty,
and
not
prepared
in
any
way.
Now
I
propose
to
make
this
solid
die”
(he
tosses
it
carelessly
into
one
of
the
hats,
and
again
apparently
takes
it
out,
but
really
takes
out
the
hollow
shell
only)
“pass
right
through
the
crown
of
one
of
these
hats,
and
fall
into
the
other.”
He
places
the
hats
one
upon
the
other,
mouth
to
mouth,
and
the
tin
shell,
with
the
opening
downwards,
upon
the
uppermost.
“Here
is
the
die,
which
I
cover,
thus.
Now,
at
my
command
it
shall
pass
downwards
through
the
hat.
One,
two,
three!
Pass!
See,
the
cover
is
empty”
(taking
it
up
with
gentle
pressure,
so
as
to
lift
the
shell
with
it,
and
placing
both
on
the
end
of
his
wand,
proving,
apparently,
that
the
cover
is
empty),
“and
here,
in
the
lower
hat,
is
the
die.
Let
us
try
the
experiment
again.
I
will
replace
the
die
in
the
lower
hat.
One,
two,
three!
Pass!”
He
lifts
the
cover,
without
pressure,
leaving
the
hollow
die
on
the
upper
hat.
“It
has
obeyed,
you
see.
Once
more.
One,
two,
three!
Pass!”
Again
the
cover
is
empty,
and
again
the
die
has
passed
into
the
lower
hat.
