Robin?s Miracle Series Magic Set. London: Demon Magic, ca. 1950. Double-decker magic set with two drawers of tricks including Vanishing Candle Tube, Die Through Hat, Cigarette Production, wand, changing cards (including version similar to Deland?s Duplex version), Vanishing Cigar, and much more. 12 x 11 x 4 ??. Panels of box work or detached, but overall good condition. Davenport?s manufactured magic sets for various clients and under its own Maskelyne?s Mysteries banner using English and German-made props. The firm?s primary business was supplying props and accessories to professional magicians, but for a time, it also produced thousands of these mass-market products aimed at children, to be sold via toy shops and department stores.
