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

Another
good
mode
of
finishing
the
trick
is
to
fling
the
pack
in
the
air,
and
catch
the
chosen
card.
For
this
purpose,
after
forcing
the
long
card,
and
after
giving
the
pack
to
be
shuffled,
you
cut
the
pack
at
the
long
card
as
before,
but
without
showing
it,
and
place
the
original
lower
half
of
the
pack
on
the
top.
The
chosen
card
will
now
be
at
the
bottom.
Take
the
pack
face
downwards
upon
the
right
hand,
and
quickly
transfer
it
to
the
left,
at
the
same
time
palming
(with
the
right
hand)
the
bottom
card.
Spread
the
cards
a
little,
and
fling
them
into
the
air,
clutching
at
them
with
the
right
hand
as
they
descend,
and
at
the
same
moment
bring
the
chosen
card
to
the
tips
of
the
fingers.
The
effect
to
the
spectators
will
be
as
if
you
actually
caught
it
among
the
falling
cards.
This
feat
also
may
be
performed
without
the
aid
of
a
long
card,
and
without
the
necessity
of
forcing
a
card.
In
this
case,
as
in
the
pocket-picking
trick,
you
make
the
pass
as
soon
as
the
card
is
returned
to
the
pack,
in
order
to
bring
it
to
the
top,
and
palm
it;
then
offer
the
pack
to
be
shuffled.
When
the
cards
are
handed
back,
place
the
chosen
card
for
a
moment
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
and
endeavour
to
call
attention--indirectly,
if
possible--to
the
fact
that
you
have
no
card
concealed
in
your
hand.
Then
again
palming
the
card,
you
may
either
yourself
fling
up
the
cards
or
request
some
other
person
to
do
so,
and
terminate
the
trick
as
before.
