DEBIERE, Arnold (1878 ? 1934). Arnold DeBiere's Coin Dropping Gimmicks. London: Jon Martin, ca. 1920s. Six brass and aluminum gimmicks crafted for DeBiere by the ?master magical mechanic," used to secretly drop large stacks of coins into the magician's waiting hand. Four outfitted with webbing at their closed end for attachment under the coat, and the fifth with a hook at its end. The largest 8 ? x 1 5/8". With a few DeBiere palming coins included. One tube hallmarked by Martin. The first gimmicks of this type we have encountered, and the only Martin-made props we have offered made from brass, as virtually all of his later output was famously crafted from Dural aluminum.
