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

A
still
more
effective
form
of
this
trick,
in
which
the
chosen
card
is
caught
upon
the
point
of
a
sword,
will
be
found
among
the
card
tricks
performed
by
the
aid
of
special
apparatus.
The
following
is
a
good
long-card
trick,
but
demands
considerable
proficiency
in
sleight-of-hand.
You
“force”
the
long
card,
allowing
it
to
be
returned
to
any
part
of
the
pack,
and
the
whole
to
be
well
shuffled.
You
then
say,
“You
must
be
by
this
time
pretty
certain
that,
even
if
I
knew
your
card
in
the
first
instance,
I
must
have
quite
lost
sight
of
it
now.
If
you
do
not
feel
quite
certain,
please
shuffle
the
cards
once
more.”
Every
one
being
fully
satisfied
that
the
card
is
completely
lost
in
the
pack,
you
continue,
“Let
me
assure
you
that
I
do
not
know,
any
more
than
yourselves,
whereabouts
in
the
pack
your
card
is
at
this
moment.
You
can
all
see
that
I
have
no
duplicate
card
concealed
in
my
hands.
I
will
now
take
the
top
card,
whatever
it
may
be,
or,
if
you
prefer
it,
any
one
may
draw
a
card
from
any
part
of
the
pack,
and
I
will
at
once
change
it
to
the
card
originally
chosen.”
The
audience
will
probably
prefer
to
draw
a
card,
which,
when
they
have
done,
you
continue,
“I
presume
the
card
you
have
just
drawn
is
not
the
one
originally
chosen.
Will
the
gentleman
who
drew
the
first
card
look
at
it
and
see
if
it
is
his
card?”
The
reply
is
pretty
certain
to
be
in
the
negative.
