Description

Measures 12" wide x 9 1/2" deep x 9 1/2" high. The Magician shows a chest made of wood and metal and setting it down the hump back lid is opened and from within a Treasure Chest is removed. From this Chest items are shown such as weapons a pirate would have and the gold coins expected to be found in such a Treasure Chest.

Long cords are shown and wrapped around the Chest securing its bounty. The ends of the cords are held by volunteers standing on either side and even though all is fair the Magician is able to cause the Treasure Chest to escape from its cords and make away with the contents!

Moving back to the antique looking hump back Trunk the Magician tips it toward the audience and opens the lid for a view inside showing nothing but an empty trunk. Closing the lid and bringing it back to an upright position the lid is lifted once more and a large variety of items are produced from within or a couple of live doves or small rabbit!

The nice thing about this is the combination of effects as at first the Treasure Chest is removed from the hump back Trunk clearly without stating so the Trunk is empty. The Treasure Chest is fashioned with movable pins at the openings through which the cords are passed enabling for a type of Grandmother's necklace or Cords of Fantasia effect.

After the Treasure Chest effect the tip over Chest principle is used with the hump back Trunk. The Treasure Chest is made in a special way that allows it containment in the Trunk. Cue Cards have been affixed to the top of the Treasure Chest as a reminder of patter lines to say. No instructions came along with this. Condition very good.
