Electric Handkerchief and Cards. French, ca. 1920. Four playing cards are arranged in a metal framework creating a box, then placed atop a metal pedestal. When covered, then revealed, a vanished handkerchief has appeared in place of the cards, filling the framework. Height 6 ??. An interesting combination of principles, and rare; the first we have encountered. A complete explanation of the routine using this prop ? a clever adaptation of the venerable Silk Pedestal, can be found in Secrets of Modern Conjuring by Horace Albert Walker, at page 3.
