Description

An early self-contained unit made of metal in first rate working order including 3 pages of illustrated instructions. With this mechanical candle and its wooden envelope stand the magician may have at his disposal a very funny effect.

One example for use is that of a currency note sealed into one of several envelopes and shuffled about. The magician uses his mental ability to select the correct envelope and clips this into the holder. A candle is lit and the magician burns the envelopes one at a time laying them into a large bowl (not supplied) where they are seen to burn.

While doing this the candle starts to move slightly back and forth with of course the magician oblivious to this action. The candle ends by falling over completely into the clipped envelope containing the currency note catching it afire! With the magician quite unaware of all of this happening the audience finds great amusement with the result. The magician does of course make everything right by having the currency note appear restored in some manner.

You will certainly appreciate the mechanics involved in this effect and this one in very fine condition. This piece has the trademark stamp and includes the walnut wood base stand with clips for holding envelopes. Don't pass this one by. Condition very fine. Sold as a magic artifact only not intended for use however in very fine working order.
