Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
91
When
two
cards
shaped
as
above
are
placed
one
upon
another,
but
in
opposite
directions,
the
effect
is
as
in
Fig.
34.
If
the
whole
pack
is
at
the
outset
placed
with
all
the
cards
alike
(i.e.,
their
ends
tapering
in
the
same
direction),
by
reversing
any
card
and
returning
it
to
the
pack,
its
wide
end
is
made
to
correspond
with
the
narrow
ends
of
the
remaining
cards,
thereby
making
it
for
the
time
being
a
“long”
card.
By
offering
the
pack
for
a
person
to
draw
a
card,
and
turning
the
pack
round
before
the
card
is
replaced,
the
position
of
that
card
will
thus
be
reversed,
and
you
will
be
able
to
find
it
again
in
an
instant,
however
thoroughly
the
cards
may
be
shuffled.
By
pre-arranging
the
pack
beforehand,
with
the
narrow
ends
of
all
the
red
cards
in
one
direction,
and
those
of
the
black
cards
in
the
other
direction,
you
may,
by
grasping
the
pack
between
the
finger
and
thumb
at
each
end
(see
Fig.
35),
and,
drawing
the
hands
apart,
separate
the
black
cards
from
the
red
at
a
single
stroke,
or,
by
preparing
the
pack
accordingly,
you
may
divide
the
court
cards
from
the
plain
cards
in
like
manner.
Many
other
recreations
may
be
performed
with
a
pack
of
this
kind,
which
will
be
noticed
in
due
course.
The
long
card
and
the
biseauté
pack
have
each
their
special
advantages
and
disadvantages.
