Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
592
The
mode
of
working
the
trick
will
now
be
readily
understood.
The
bottle
which
is
brought
forward
has
a
second
glass
concealed
within
it,
kept
in
position,
while
the
bottle
is
brought
in,
by
the
pressure
of
the
finger.
The
cover
which
is
placed
over
this
bottle
is
empty.
The
other
cover,
which
is
placed
over
the
glass,
contains
the
second
bottle,
which,
being
hollow
below,
enables
the
performer
to
rattle
his
wand
within
it,
and
thus
(apparently)
to
prove
the
cover
empty.
Having
covered
the
glass
and
bottle,
he
raises
the
cover
of
the
first
very
lightly,
leaving
the
glass
concealed
by
the
second
bottle,
but
lifts
the
other
with
pressure,
so
carrying
the
bottle
with
it,
and
revealing
the
glass
which
has
hitherto
been
concealed
within
it.
By
reversing
the
process,
the
bottle
and
glass
are
again
made
to
appear,
each
under
its
original
cover.
Where
it
is
desired
to
pour
wine
from
either
bottle,
the
performer
takes
care,
in
lifting
it,
to
press
the
glass
through
the
finger-hole,
and
thus
lifts
both
together.
For
obvious
reasons
the
glass
into
which
the
wine
is
poured
should
be
a
third
glass,
and
not
either
of
the
two
which
play
the
principal
part
in
the
trick.
