To keep those you're trying to fool from knowing that the other eggs are empty: "The operator should, as if by accident, let a full egg fall on the table, which breaking, induces a belief that the others are also full." Place the hat over a lit candle for a few minutes, then pull out the warm omelet. Keep the hat up high (so they can’t see the bottom) then start breaking the fake eggs in the hat.

Take, for example, The Magician's Own Book, Or the Whole Art of Conjuring. And while some are classics, many of the older tomes seem very strange to our modern eyes.
