Great Ballot Box Mystery. Los Angeles: F.G. Thayer & Co., ca. 1920. A spectator places a ball inside a box and hides the other two; even so, the magician determines the color of the concealed ball. Mahogany box with turned black lacquered handle and three wooden balls in black, red and green. Box 3 x 3 x 2 ??. Very good.
