Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
614
There
are
many
little
differences
of
detail
between
the
“stars”
of
rival
manufacturers,
but
the
foregoing
may
be
taken
to
represent
the
general
principle
of
all.
Some
have
the
addition
of
a
rose
in
the
centre,
which
opens
simultaneously
with
the
appearance
of
the
cards,
and
discloses
a
watch,
borrowed
a
moment
previously
from
one
of
the
spectators.
The
mode
of
working
the
trick
varies
a
good
deal
in
the
hands
of
different
performers.
The
most
legitimate
method
is
to
“force”
cards
corresponding
to
those
already
folded
behind
the
star,
and
this
method
has
the
advantage
of
allowing
the
star
to
be
brought
in
and
placed
upon
the
table
before
commencing
the
trick;
and
as
it
is
not
again
touched
by
the
performer
or
his
assistant,
the
appearance
on
its
points
of
(apparently)
the
identical
cards
just
chosen
seems
really
miraculous.
