text_original: When the performer claps the lid on the pan, the lining is thereby introduced, but when he again removes it, the lining is left in, exposing the folded handkerchiefs, while the substitutes remain concealed between the true and false bottoms of the pan. The performer, of necessity, accepts white handkerchiefs only, as a coloured one would betray the secret, from the absence of its "double" among the substitutes.
