Carter, Charles. Carter the Great?s Shooting Through a Woman Costume and Gimmicks. Circa 1925. Vintage pale green corduroy-type costume accented with gold ribbon and fringe, worn by an assistant in Carter?s show for the Shooting Through a Woman illusion, in which a dart, attached to a ribbon, pierced the woman?s body without harming her. Specially constructed to accommodate the gimmicks ? included here ? that made the effect possible. With a vintage 8 x 10? black-and-white photograph of Carter?s assistant wearing the costume.
