Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
573
Grasping
it
immediately
below
the
folded
shape,
he
gives
the
handkerchief
in
charge
to
one
of
the
spectators,
who
is
directed
to
hold
it
in
like
manner.
The
hat
he
places
carelessly
upon
the
table.
He
now
once
more
lifts
the
cover
with
the
hollow
die,
rattling
his
wand
within
it
to
show
that
it
is
empty.
Again
replacing
it,
he
commands
the
die
to
pass
from
the
handkerchief
under
the
cover.
The
person
holding
the
handkerchief
is
asked
if
he
felt
it
depart,
but
he
naturally
maintains
that
it
is
still
in
the
handkerchief.
“You
are
mistaken,”
says
the
professor;
“what
you
see
is
merely
the
ghost
of
the
die
still
clinging
to
the
handkerchief.
Allow
me!”
and
taking
one
corner
he
requests
the
owner
to
drop
the
handkerchief,
which
he
then
shakes
out,
exhibiting
both
sides
to
show
that
the
die
has
vanished.
He
then
lifts
the
cover,
and
shows
the
hollow
die,
which
the
spectators
take
to
be
the
genuine
one,
and
concludes
the
trick
by
finally
commanding
the
die
thus
shown
to
pass
into
the
hat;
which,
on
being
turned
over,
is
found
to
contain
the
solid
die,
while
the
hollow
die
is
again
raised
with
the
cover,
and
the
latter
shown
apparently
empty.
