Magician?s Side Table. Boston: W.D. LeRoy, ca. 1900. Attractive side table with specially-made top mechanically gimmicked, and including spring-operated wrist trap and oversize black art well. Original yellow drape. Handsome cast metal base. Hallmarked. 32? high. Scarce. While LeRoy was one of two prominent Boston magic dealers in Victorian-era Boston, props bearing his hallmark are truly scarce.
