KASSNER, Alois (1887 ? 1970). Vanishing Elephant Moveable Souvenir. 1920s. Die cut paper elephant with moveable trunk (supported by spring-steel activated wooden block affixed to a string). A souvenir advertising Kassner?s largest illusion, the disappearance of his pet elephant, ?Toto.? Text on the elephant blanket translates to ?Magician Kassner will make an elephant disappear.? Length 9 ?? (inclusive of tail). Fragile, with small tears and separations, but intact. RARE; the first we have seen.
