Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
81
If
you
are
able
to
make
the
pass,
you
will,
of
course,
avail
yourself
of
it
to
transfer
the
requisite
number
of
cards
to
the
top
or
bottom
of
the
pack.
THE
CARDS
REVEALED
BY
THE
LOOKING-GLASS.--This
is
rather
a
joke
than
a
feat
of
magic,
but
it
will
create
some
fun,
and
may
often
be
kept
up
for
some
time
without
being
discovered.
Take
up
your
position
on
one
side
of
the
room,
facing
a
good-sized
mirror
or
chimney-glass.
Make
your
audience
stand
or
sit
facing
you,
when
they
will,
of
course,
have
their
backs
to
the
glass.
Offer
the
cards
to
be
shuffled
and
cut.
Take
the
top
card
and
hold
it
high
up,
with
its
back
to
you
and
its
face
to
the
audience.
As
it
will
be
reflected
in
the
mirror
opposite
you,
you
will
have
no
difficulty
in
naming
it,
or
any
other
card
in
like
manner,
till
your
audience
either
find
you
out,
or
have
had
enough
of
the
trick.
TO
GUESS
FOUR
CARDS
THOUGHT
OF
BY
DIFFERENT
PERSONS.--Offer
the
pack
to
be
shuffled.
Place
it
on
the
table,
and
taking
off
the
four
top
cards
with
the
right
hand,
offer
them
to
any
person,
and
ask
him
to
notice
one
of
them,
shuffle
them,
and
return
them
to
you.
When
they
are
returned,
place
them,
face
downwards,
in
your
left
hand.
Take
the
next
four
cards,
and
offer
them
to
another
person
in
like
manner.
Proceed
in
like
manner
with
a
third
and
fourth
group
of
four.
When
all
the
sixteen
cards
are
returned,
deal
them
out
in
four
heaps,
face
upwards.
Ask
each
person
in
which
heap
his
card
now
is.
That
of
the
first
person
will
be
the
uppermost
of
his
heap,
that
of
the
second
person
second
in
his
heap,
and
so
on.
It
will
sometimes
occur
that
two
of
the
cards
chosen
are
in
the
same
heap,
but
the
rule
will
still
apply.
Should
there
be
three
persons
only
to
choose,
you
should
give
them
three
cards
each;
and
deal
in
three
heaps.
