Visible Die Through Hat. Flein: R?diger Deutsch, 1999. A large die penetrates the crown of a borrowed hat. The magician then offers to repeat the trick, but this time, visibly. The hat is balanced on top of the die. Now, slowly and visibly, the hat sinks down ? bit by bit - through the die, as if one solid is melting through the other. A fine and elaborate brass and roller-shade mechanism incorporated into the table causes the visible penetration effect. One of six units manufactured based on an early twentieth century German design. 3" die. Height of table 39". One internal cord requires rethreading, else near fine. A mechanical masterpiece.
