Incubator/Drum Head Tube. North Hollywood: Merv Taylor, ca. 1954. Stainless steel tube with open ends. These are capped by newspaper, then silks and a large metal cage with a live bird is produced from within. 12? high, 6? diameter. Perhaps a prototype or special order; his cataloged version of the effect did not include the drumhead feature. Here, a subtle method allows the magician to flash the interior of the canister before the second drumhead is in place. Also works as a Phantom Tube.
