Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
629
The
glove
and
rings,
as
the
reader
will
probably
conjecture,
are
exchanged
at
an
early
period
of
the
trick.
There
are
plenty
of
ways
of
effecting
this
exchange.
Perhaps,
as
regards
the
rings,
the
expedient
of
having
them
collected
on
the
performer’s
wand
by
the
assistant
(see
page
399)
is
as
good
as
any.
The
assistant,
having
thus
gained
possession
of
the
borrowed
articles,
arranges
them
as
follows:--The
glove
is
placed
upon
the
end
of
a
tube,
which
runs
through
the
whole
length
of
the
column,
terminating
just
within
the
cup
at
top,
and
is
kept
in
position
by
an
india-rubber
ring
slipped
over
it,
and
holding
it
tight
to
the
tube.
One
of
the
borrowed
rings
is
now
placed
over
each
of
the
fingers,
and
the
glove
thus
prepared
is
pressed
down
into
the
cup,
so
as
not
to
show
above
the
rim.
The
column
is
now
placed
upon
the
table
in
such
manner
that
the
lower
opening
of
the
tube
shall
correspond
with
a
small
hole
in
the
table,
communicating
by
means
of
an
india-rubber
tube
with
a
hollow
ball
of
the
same
material,
filled
with
air,
and
so
placed
as
to
be
within
reach
of
the
hand
or
foot
of
the
assistant.
At
the
moment
of
firing
a
smart
pressure
is
applied
to
the
ball,
thus
causing
a
rush
of
air
through
the
tube,
and
inflating
the
glove,
which
instantly
springs
up
into
a
perpendicular
position,
with
the
rings
upon
it.
The
articles
are
now
returned
to
the
owners,
and
are
identified
as
those
which
were
borrowed.
