MAGICIAN?S CENTER TABLE. Circa 1910. Nickel-plated table resting on four legs terminating in cast metal feet, with two uprights capped by cast metal eagles, and two crossbars, used in performance to display silks, flowers, or other production items, or from which a clock dial, Phoenix Cage, or other large prop. The felt-covered top concealing an internal thread-operated mechanism for the Glass Through Hat. Height (exclusive of uprights) 38?. Top outfitted with metal fringe (some lacking); generally very good condition. A handsome and impressive piece of furniture, and a rarity, being the first example of this type of conjuring table we have encountered. Formerly owned by Suzy Wandas and Zina Bennett, and used as a centerpiece in their home theater. Similar tables were cataloged by Conradi, the famous German magic manufacturer headquartered in Berlin.
