Giant Glass Penetration. Circa 1920. A solid pane of glass held in a finely-crafted oval wooden frame is repeatedly pierced by the magician?s hand, a silk handkerchief, or other objects, which pass through it at various points covered by a giant glass ?lens? held in place by a moveable brass arm. Decorated in hand-cut brass trim with dragons flanking either side of the glass. The entire outfit resting on a chromed Kellar-style base. Width of frame 22 ??. In a custom wooden packing case. The mechanics of this effect are similar to a model designed by Richard Himber and marketed under the title ?Ghost Glass.?
