Phoenix Target and Cage. Hamburg: Carl Willmann [?], ca. 1910. A canary stuffed into the end of a pistol with wide funnel on its barrel is fired at a target across the stage. The target instantly transforms into a large bird cage with domed roof, inside of which the canary flies about. Target 10 x 10?. Minor repairs evident, but good working condition. Scarce.A favorite trick of David Devant, and described by him in ?Our Magic? (1911). This outfit uses no roller blind, and as such is more durable, and perhaps more reliable than other models we have encountered.
