Kassner, Alois. Kassner?s Canary in Lightbulb Trick. German, 1930s. Large nickel-plated desk lamp with suspended bulb burning brightly. The magician vanishes a live canary, which instantly and visibly appears inside the bulb, in full view of the audience. The bird is then removed and returned to its cage. Clockwork mechanism, bulbs included. Wired for 220V power. Height 25?. Owned and used by Alois Kassner. The only example in this form we have encountered.
