Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
621
It
is
hardly
necessary
to
remark
that
the
cards
chosen
by
the
audience
are
“forced”
cards,
of
which
duplicates
have
beforehand
been
placed
in
the
head.
THE
MAGIC
PICTURE
FRAME.--The
performer,
always
borrowing,
borrows
this
time
a
lady’s
handkerchief,
and
any
small
articles--say
a
watch
and
a
glove.
These
latter
he
rolls
up
in
the
handkerchief,
and
places
the
ball
or
bundle
thus
made
upon
the
table.
He
looks
about
in
search
of
his
magic
pistol,
which
is
immediately
afterwards
brought
in
by
the
assistant.
The
performer
places
the
handkerchief,
etc.,
in
the
pistol,
the
assistant
meanwhile
bringing
forward
and
placing
on
the
table
a
handsome
picture-frame,
mounted
on
a
stand.
It
contains
no
picture,
the
space
which
the
picture
should
occupy
being
filled
by
a
board
covered
with
black
cloth.
The
performer,
standing
at
the
farthest
available
distance
from
the
frame,
takes
aim
at
it,
and
fires,
when
the
borrowed
articles
are
seen
instantly
to
attach
themselves
to
the
black
background,
whence,
being
removed,
they
are
handed
to
the
owners
for
identification.
