Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
641
A
thrill
of
horror
runs
through
the
audience,
who
are
half
inclined
to
call
in
the
police,
and
hand
over
the
professor
to
the
nearest
magistrate.
For
a
moment
there
is
a
pause,
and
then
the
performer,
calmly
wiping
the
bloody
sword
on
a
white
pocket-handkerchief,
says,
“Ladies
and
gentlemen,
I
fear
you
imagine
that
I
have
hurt
the
lady
who
was
the
subject
of
this
experiment.
Pray
disabuse
yourselves
of
such
an
idea.
She
had
disobeyed
me,
and
I
therefore
determined
to
punish
her
by
giving
her
a
little
fright;
but
nothing
more.
The
fact
is,
she
had
left
the
basket
some
time
before
I
thrust
the
sword
into
it.
You
don’t
believe
me,
I
see.
Allow
me
to
show
you,
in
the
first
place,
that
the
basket
is
empty.”
He
turns
over
the
basket
accordingly,
and
shows
that
the
lady
has
vanished.
“Should
you
desire
further
proof,
the
lady
will
answer
for
herself.”
The
lady
at
this
moment
comes
forward
from
a
different
portion
of
the
room,
and
having
made
her
bow,
retires.
