Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
96
During
the
discussion
you
have
taken
the
opportunity
to
slip
the
little
finger
of
the
left
hand
immediately
above
the
long
card
(which,
it
will
be
remembered,
was
that
first
drawn),
and
to
make
the
pass,
thereby
bringing
it
to
the
top,
and
enabling
you
to
palm
it.
You
now
ask
the
person
holding
the
second
card
to
place
it
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
which
you
immediately
transfer
to
the
right
hand,
thus
bringing
the
palmed
card
upon
it.
You
then
say,
“To
show
you
that
this
trick
is
not
performed
by
sleight-of-hand,
or
by
any
manipulation
of
the
cards,
I
will
not
even
touch
them,
but
will
place
them
here
on
the
table
in
sight
of
all.
Will
the
gentleman
who
drew
the
first
card
please
to
say
what
his
card
was?”
The
card
being
named,
you
slowly
and
deliberately
turn
over
the
top
card,
which
will
be
found
to
be
transformed
into
that
first
chosen.
The
other
card
is
now
the
next
card
on
the
top
of
the
pack,
and,
as
somebody
may
suspect
this,
and
by
examining
the
pack
gain
a
partial
clue
to
the
trick,
it
will
be
well
to
take
an
early
opportunity
of
removing
this
card,
either
by
shuffling,
or
by
making
the
pass
to
bring
it
to
the
centre
of
the
pack.
If
you
make
use
of
a
biseauté
pack,
there
is,
of
course,
no
necessity
for
forcing
the
card
in
the
first
instance.
