Pollock Cage Vanish (Sample). Alhambra: Owen Magic Supreme, ca. 1969. A cage filled with white doves is covered with a cloth, lifted from the table and thrown into the air, where it vanishes. With a black fiber packing case bearing a paper tag stating that this model is the sample used by Owen. Worn, with bars rolling and retracting slowly and chips and residue marring the finish, but in working condition. Based on the design popularized by Channing Pollock, and offered with his permission by Owen. The packing case also contains the wooden guides for cutting the table legs.
