Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
581
Rubbing
his
palms
together,
as
if
to
mould
the
divided
ball
into
shape,
he
shows
the
two
balls,
professedly
the
divided
portions
of
the
first.
Taking
one
in
each
hand,
he
continues,
“I
undertook
to
make
the
divided
portions
exactly
equal,
but
I
have
not
succeeded
so
well
as
usual.
It
seems
to
me
that
this
one
is
rather
the
larger,
what
say
you,
ladies
and
gentlemen?”
He
places
the
two
balls
on
the
table,
side
by
side,
as
if
for
comparison,
and
carelessly
dropping
the
right
hand
to
his
side,
palms
between
the
second
and
third
fingers
(see
page
273),
the
small
ball.
“Yes,
this
one
is
certainly
the
larger,
but
I
can
easily
rectify
the
mistake
by
pinching
a
little
piece
off.”
Taking
the
ball
in
the
left
hand,
he
pretends
to
pinch
off
a
portion
from
it
with
the
right,
at
the
same
time
letting
the
little
ball
fall
to
the
finger-tips
of
the
latter.
He
replaces
the
large
ball
on
the
table,
rolling
the
little
ball
between
the
fingers,
as
though
to
give
it
roundness.
“No,
that
one
is
still
the
biggest,
I
haven’t
taken
quite
enough
yet.
I
must
take
a
little
more;
or,
better
still,
I
will
add
this
little
piece
to
the
smaller
one.”
