Hofzinser?s ?The Twenties? Coin Box Set. Vienna: Klingl, 1920s. Two finely made coin boxes with tall finials on each lid, of different diameters. Used to transpose the location of a stack of ?twenties? (coins) and a small die, or other similar routines. Two lids, one base, one canister, and a separate double-lid. Slight lean to one finial. Largest diameter 1 ??. Scarce. See Richard Hatch?s translation of ?The Magic of J.N. Hofzinser,? page 53, for a description of the props and a suggested routine therewith. This effect was said to be one of Hofzinser?s favorites, and a closely-guarded secret.
