Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
657
The
box
measures
about
ten
inches
in
length,
by
five
in
breadth
and
five
in
depth,
so
that
its
back,
front,
top,
and
bottom
are
of
exactly
the
same
size.
On
the
top,
which
slides
out,
in
order
to
give
access
to
the
interior,
is
an
ornamental
design,
measuring
about
four
inches
by
three.
This
renders
this
particular
portion
of
the
top
or
lid
opaque,
and
it
is
beneath
this
portion
that
the
half-crowns
are
placed.
Slips
of
glass
are
cemented
to
the
under
side
of
the
lid
(see
Fig.
309),
so
as
to
inclose
a
space
just
large
enough
to
allow
eight
half-crowns
to
be
placed,
in
two
layers
of
four
each,
within
it.
The
slips
of
glass
serve
to
keep
the
coins
in
position
laterally.
Vertically,
they
are
supported
as
follows:--The
front
of
the
box
(i.e.,
the
side
which,
when
the
box
is
suspended,
is
nearest
to
the
spectators)
is
made
double.
The
outer
portion
is
a
fixture,
but
the
inner
is
attached
by
hinges
a
a
to
the
upper
edge
of
the
box,
and
may
therefore
be
folded
at
pleasure
against
the
top,
though
when
released
it
falls
back
to
its
normal
position
against
the
front,
in
which
position
it
is
secured
by
a
spring
catch
until
again
raised.
It
is
upon
this
moveable
side,
thus
folded
up
against
the
top,
that
the
eight
half-crowns
are
supported.
