Magic Mirror Color Divination. Vienna: S. Klingl, ca. 1930. Handsome hardwood case into which one of four small plaques are placed, face down. The magician instantly knows the color of the plaque in the case by apparently gazing into a small ?magic mirror? in the hinged lid of the box. 2 ? x 2 ??. Hallmarked. Finely made. With carrying case.An extremely clever mechanical device relying on magnetism and a simple mechanical device to instantly tell the performer which colored plaque is inside the box. This is the first use of this mechanism we have encountered in a magic prop of this vintage.
