Tien-Tse. Germany: Herbert Martin Paufler, ca. 1970s. A miniature version of the Skeleton in the Closet/Wonder Blocks effect, in which a skeleton, trisected onto black blocks, magically rearranges inside a tube as commanded by the seated Chinese magician figure, whose own face appears in the small canister following the transformation. Foam-lined plastic case. Tube 4 3/8?. Slight chipping from wear and handling.
