Card in TV. Holland: Eddy Taytelbaum, 1950s. A spectator is asked to picture a card in their mind. When the TV is turned on, the card – and the silhouette of a nude woman – appear on the screen. In a joking aside, the performer exclaims “I asked you to concentrate on the card!” This trick was created for use in a magic competition and was not available commercially. Hand-painted wood with rubber, plastic and cloth details. 5 x 4 x 2 ½”. Cellophane tape construction in need of repair; rear hinge detached; good.
