Raboid, Rajah (Maurice Kitchen). Rajah Raboid?s Crystal Ball. On a plated metal stand with space inside to accommodate a light which may project images inside the ball. Ball diameter 2 ?", stand height 6 ?". With a LOA from the former owner to Ken Klosterman tracing the history of the ball to Raboid. Raboid (Maurice P. Kitchen, 1896 ? 1962) was a vaudeville mind reader and crystal gazer who used a Mexican border-blasting radio station to broadcast his predictions to the American public. In the 1930s he hired Johnny and Robert Eck for what has become a legendary version of the Sawing in Half illusion.
