Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann

This
same
effect
will
be
produced
with
any
number
of
cards,
so
long
as
such
number
is
odd,
and
a
multiple
of
three.
The
process
and
result
will
be
the
same,
save
that
if
fifteen
cards
are
used
each
heap
will
consist
of
five
cards,
and
the
third
card
of
each
will
be
the
middle
one;
if
twenty-seven
cards,
each
heap
will
consist
of
nine
cards,
and
the
fifth
will
be
the
selected
one,
and
so
on.
Third
Method.--Take
any
number
of
the
cards,
and
deal
them
face
upwards
upon
the
table,
noting
in
your
own
mind
the
first
card
dealt.
Ask
any
number
of
persons
each
to
note
a
card,
and
to
remember
at
what
number
it
falls.
When
you
have
dealt
all
the
cards
you
first
took
in
your
hand,
take
them
up
again,
without
disturbing
their
order,
and
turn
them
face
downwards.
In
order
to
show
that
the
trick
is
not
performed
by
any
arithmetical
calculation
(you
should
lay
great
stress
upon
this,
the
fact
being
precisely
the
reverse),
invite
the
company
to
take
any
number
they
choose
of
the
remaining
cards
(such
number
being
unknown
to
you),
and
place
them
either
above
or
below
the
cards
you
have
dealt.
Allow
the
cards
to
be
cut
(not
shuffled)
as
many
times
as
the
audience
please.
You
now,
for
the
first
time,
ask
each
person
what
was
the
number
of
his
card,
and,
on
being
informed,
again
deal
the
cards,
turning
them
face
upwards.
When
the
original
first
card
appears,
count
on
(silently)
from
this
as
number
one
to
the
number
mentioned,
at
which
number
the
noted
card
will
again
appear.
Should
the
whole
of
the
cards
be
dealt
out
without
reaching
the
required
number,
turn
the
cards
over
again,
and
continue
from
the
top
of
the
pack
until
that
number
is
reached.
