Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
704
The
only
automaton
of
Professor
Anderson
was,
compared
with
that
of
his
predecessors,
extremely
weak,
and
scarcely
deserving
of
notice.
It
consisted
of
an
old
man,
who
nodded,
shook
his
head,
and
raised
his
arm
to
ring
a
bell.
The
reader
of
these
articles
will
know
exactly
how
this
was
done.
The
head
was
worked
beneath
the
stage;
one
string
causing
the
head
to
nod,
another
to
turn
from
side
to
side,
and
a
third
raising
its
arm
and
letting
its
hand
fall
upon
a
bell.
By
these
three
simple
movements
it
answered
various
questions
put
to
it.
