Roy, Marvyn (Marvin Levy). Marvyn Roy?s Audience Lightbulb Tray. Alhambra: Owen Magic Supreme, ca. 1977. Wooden cigarette-girl-type tray with silk neck ribbon, central socket for a giant 500-Watt Westinghouse Bulb, and rheostat, which allowed the bulb to be lit in the hands of an audience volunteer, as part of a longer version of Roy?s famous ?Mr. Electric? act. Tray 15 x 11?. Tray and wiring show considerable wear from use. Sold for display purposes only. Owen Magic Supreme constructed many of the illusions and props for Roy?s famous Mr. Electric Act, along with the other ?specialty? turns he performed, including the Magical Jeweler, his Puzzle Act, and others. This tray and the built-in gimmick were used as part of a corporate show presented by the Roys for General Electric.
