Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
59
Second
Method.--Proceed
as
above,
but
instead
of
opening
the
pack
to
get
sight
of
the
card,
bring
it
secretly
to
the
bottom
by
the
pass,
and
offer
the
cards
to
be
shuffled,
holding
them
at
the
upper
end
between
the
thumb
and
first
and
second
finger
of
the
right
hand,
and
slanting
from
you
at
an
angle
of
45°,
as
in
Fig.
15.
As
the
faces
are
towards
you,
you
have
a
full
view
of
the
card.
Even
if
it
should
suggest
itself
to
the
audience
that
you
are
able
to
see
the
bottom
card,
as
they
are
not
aware
that
the
chosen
card
is
now
in
that
position,
there
is
nothing
to
excite
their
suspicion.
You
may,
by
way
of
variety,
instead
of
offering
the
cards
to
be
shuffled,
hold
them
in
the
right
hand,
and
make
the
single-handed
“ruffle”
above
described,
at
the
same
time
turning
their
faces
slightly
towards
yourself.
You
may
effect
the
same
object,
even
more
simply,
by
the
mere
act
of
passing
the
pack
from
the
one
hand
to
the
other,
keeping
the
bottom
card
turned
inwards
as
above.
TO
“SLIP”
A
CARD.--Hold
the
pack
in
the
left
hand
having
first
slightly
moistened
the
fingers,
which
should
rest
upon
the
back
of
the
cards.
Open
the
pack
bookwise,
at
an
angle
of
about
45°,
holding
the
upper
packet
lengthways
between
the
thumb
and
second
finger
of
the
right
hand.
Draw
this
upper
packet
smartly
upwards
to
a
distance
of
two
or
three
inches
from
the
lower
packet.
(See
Fig.
23.)
The
top
card
of
the
upper
packet,
being
held
back
by
the
pressure
of
the
fingers
upon
it,
will
not
move
upwards
with
the
rest
of
the
packet;
but
immediately
the
remaining
cards
are
clear,
will
fold
itself
down
on
the
top
of
the
lower
packet.
If
the
top
card
of
the
lower
packet
be
examined
before
and
after
the
slip,
the
card
will
appear
to
have
changed,
the
fact
being
that
the
original
top
card
becomes
the
second
after
the
slip,
the
slipped
card
covering
it.
