HEART OF GLASS PENETRATION. Germany: Robert Farchmin, 1930s. Finely crafted hardwood frame holds a sheet of glass and two metal ?targets? in the shape of a heart on each side. The magician inserts a sheet of red paper or celluloid into the targets, and then pierces the glass with a nickel-plated arrow. The arrow is removed as is the paper; the glass is unbroken. 12 x 9 ??. From the Circus Museum of Sarasota and Larson collections, and including Larson?s notes on the routine. A complete routine utilizing this prop was published in Punx?s ?Magical Adventures and Fairy Tales? (1988), at page 18.
