Lavand, Rene. Rene Lavand?s Bread Crumbs. Four hand-formed bread crumbs used in Lavand?s famous routine ?The Three Breadcrumbs,? in which one of three balls, when placed in Lavand?s pocket, reappeared in a demitasse cup into which the other two were deposited - repeatedly and in an increasingly baffling manner. At the conclusion of the trick, all three bread crumbs vanished, leaving the cup empty. Obtained by the consignor directly from Lavand in the course of preparing a book on Lavand?s magic, and accompanied by an LOA. Sold with a small porcelain statuette, gifted to the consignor by Lavand, depicting a gnome holding a bread crumb.
