Power Chopper. Washington D.C.: Collectors? Workshop, ca. 1995. The performer?s wrist is locked into an elaborate set of stocks, and ?by accident? his hand is cut from his wrist by a whirling electric saw. The hand is seen to fall into a box at the front of the device as the blade descends after the handle of the prop pops off in mid-performance. All is well at the end; the performer is unharmed. 12 x 35?. Hallmarked. With ATA carrying case. Very good working condition.
