Chinese Sticks. Boston: Silent Mora, 1953. Cords running through hand-painted bamboo rods react in sympathy to each other. As one is pulled, the other retracts, and vice-versa, with no apparent connection between them. Length 10 ??. Painted with the text ?Silent Mora? along their lengths; the only set we have encountered painted as such. Each stick inscribed and signed, the first: ?From ?Silent? Mora / A man warned is doubly armed. / Nov. 14, 1953.? and the second: ?All good wishes, good health & happiness / to all magicians, all entertainers everywhere / in the world. ?Silent? Mora Nov. 14, 1953?. One stick in need of restringing, otherwise good.
