Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
577
So
much
for
the
disappearance
of
the
cage;
but
it
yet
remains
to
be
explained
how
the
bird
comes
to
be
found
under
the
cover
in
place
of
the
die.
This
is
effected
as
follows:--There
are
two
dice,
the
one
solid,
the
other
of
hollow
tin,
and
having
one
side
wanting,
but
capable
of
being
closed
at
pleasure
by
means
of
a
sliding
lid,
also
of
tin,
which
supplies
the
missing
side,
and
is
painted
accordingly.
The
outer
edge
of
this
lid
is
folded
over
outwards
in
a
semicircular
form.
(See
Fig.
254).
The
tray
used
(see
Fig.
255)
is
of
tin,
japanned,
and
of
ordinary
appearance,
but
has
a
square
piece
of
tin,
of
the
same
size
as
one
of
the
sides
of
the
die,
soldered
upon
its
centre
at
about
one-sixteenth
of
an
inch
above
the
surface.
Three
of
its
sides
are
soldered
to
the
tray,
the
fourth
being
left
open.
The
centre
of
the
tray
is
ornamentally
japanned,
in
such
manner
as
to
conceal
this
special
arrangement.
