Japanese Conjurer Automaton. Paris: Pierre Mayer, ca. 2004. Handmade wooden automaton with exposed works. As the crank is turned, the cup in the conjurer?s hand descends and the magician waves the fan in his other hand. The cup is raised, and the ball is vanished, only to reappear in his mouth. Hardwood and metal construction. 6 x 3 ? x 7 ? ?. Signed by Mayer. Very good.
