Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
679
The
larger
room,
A,
will
form
the
auditorium,
and
the
smaller,
B,
the
stage;
a
and
b
representing
the
doors
leading
to
the
landing,
and
c
c
the
folding
doors
between
the
two
rooms.
The
folding
doors
(which
act
as
curtain)
being
first
closed,
the
spectators
are
marshalled
into
A,
and
requested
to
take
their
seats,
and
the
door
b
is
then
closed,
to
remain
so
throughout
the
entertainment.
The
room
B
is
arranged
as
follows:--The
“table”
d
is
placed
in
the
centre,
towards
the
back,
with
its
servante
properly
arranged.
This
may
either
stand
alone,
or
may
be
supplemented
by
a
couple
of
side
tables,
e
e.
An
ordinary
table,
f,
should
be
placed
outside
the
door,
and
upon
this
will
be
laid
in
due
order
the
various
pieces
of
apparatus
and
other
articles
which
will
be
required
in
the
course
of
the
entertainment.
A
working
programme
should
be
kept
on
this
table
for
the
use
of
the
performer
and
his
assistant,
with
a
note
of
the
articles
required
for
the
purpose
of
each
trick.
This
will
enable
them
to
have
everything
ready
at
the
right
moment,
without
delay
or
confusion.
The
door
a
should
be
kept
open,
so
that
the
assistant,
from
his
place
by
the
table
f,
can
instantly
see
and
hear
what
is
wanted.
When
the
performer
has
made
his
bow
to
his
audience,
there
are
still
one
or
two
little
points
that
he
will
do
well
to
bear
in
mind.
They
may
be
summarized
as
follows:--
