Lightbulb Catching Pail. German, ca. 1950. Nickel plated pail facilitates the production of small lit bulbs in the magician?s apparently empty hand; gimmicked interior provides the illusion of a quantity of bulbs filling the pail; together with an unusual spring-loaded lit bulb catching gimmick. Height of pail 7 ??. Not tested with batteries.A precursor to many currently popular tricks, and likely inspired by the act of Marvyn & Carol Roy, though this model incorporates smaller bulbs. The first example of a prop of this nature we have encountered.
