Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
610
Having
thus
passed
one
rabbit
into
the
other,
the
next
step
is
to
get
it
out
again.
To
do
this
the
performer
calls
for
some
bran,
and
his
assistant
immediately
brings
forward,
and
places
on
a
table
or
chair,
a
huge
glass
goblet,
twelve
inches
or
thereabouts
in
height,
filled
to
the
brim
with
that
commodity.
The
performer
takes
the
borrowed
hat,
and
(after
showing
that
it
is
empty)
places
it
mouth
upwards
upon
another
table,
so
as
to
be
at
some
considerable
distance
from
the
goblet
of
bran.
He
then
places
a
brass
cover
over
the
glass,
first,
however,
taking
up
and
scattering
a
handful
of
the
bran
to
prove
its
genuineness.
Taking
the
surviving
rabbit,
and
holding
it
by
the
ears
above
the
covered
goblet,
he
orders
the
one
swallowed
to
pass
from
it
into
the
glass,
at
the
same
time
stroking
it
down
with
the
disengaged
hand,
as
though
to
facilitate
the
process.
He
remarks,
“You
must
excuse
the
comparative
slowness
of
the
operation,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
but
the
fact
is,
the
second
rabbit
passes
downwards
in
an
impalpable
powder,
and,
if
I
were
not
to
take
sufficient
time,
we
might
find
that
a
leg
or
an
ear
had
been
omitted
in
the
process,
and
the
restored
rabbit
would
be
a
cripple
for
life.
I
think
we
are
pretty
safe
by
this
time,
however.
Thank
you,
Bunny;
I
need
not
trouble
you
any
more.”
So
saying,
he
releases
the
visible
rabbit,
and
on
taking
off
the
cover
the
bran
is
found
to
have
disappeared,
and
the
missing
rabbit
to
have
taken
its
place
in
the
goblet;
while
on
turning
over
the
borrowed
hat
the
vanished
bran
pours
from
it.
