Fu Manchu (David Bamberg). Fu Manchu?s Watch Mirror and Pistol. Circa 1910. A borrowed watch is forced into the conical barrel of the magician?s pistol. When fired at a mirror resting on the performer?s table, the mirror shatters, revealing the borrowed watch hanging from the back of the frame. Height of mirror stand 18?. Owned and used by David Bamberg (Fu Manchu). Accompanied by an LOA describing the provenance of the apparatus. An outstanding set owned and used by one of the twentieth century?s great illusionists.
