Electric Handkerchief and Cards. French, ca. 1920. Four playing cards arranged in a metal framework create a box, which is placed on a metal pedestal. A handkerchief in the performer?s hand then changes into the four cards; when the stand is uncovered, the handkerchief has replaced the cards, filling the framework. Includes a gimmick to transform a silk placed in the hand into the cards seen in the framework. Height 6 ??. Minor splitting to outer cover, else very good. SCARCE.An interesting combination of principles, and rare; only the second we have encountered, and this model includes the gimmicks (well worn, but intact) for the transformation. A detailed explanation of the routine using this prop can be found in Secrets of Modern Conjuring by Horace Albert Walker.
