| Autographed by Larry Becker on instruction book. The violin measures 11” in length. One of the most entertaining baffling mental miracles ever released. No sleights! No gimmicks! And best of all, it’s easy to do. Especially the part where you play the violin! The performer displays nine number cards, 1 through 9. The performer then randomly selects a member of the audience to assist in an interesting demonstration of virtuosity. Virtuosity of the mind and musical aptitude. The performer asks the spectator to examine, shuffle and cut the packet of number cards to his hearts content. When the spectator is satisfied that the cards are well mixed, the performer retrieves the packet and states that to ensure a random selection, he will now transfer one card at a time from the top of the packet to the bottom until the spectator calls, “stop”. Turning his head away, the performer displays the bottom card of the packet to the spectator as he tells him to remember the number he randomly selected. A number known only to the spectator. The performer cuts the packet once and immediately places it in his jacket pocket. The performer now hands the spectator a card containing nine popular and classical musical selections. Everything from Auld Lang Syne to Beethoven’s Pathetique. The spectator is asked to locate the number he has in mind and to concentrate on the name of the musical selections next to it. As he does this, the performer picks up a beautiful miniature violin and a bow. Announcing that he will now play one of his violin teacher’s favorite selections, the performer begins to play the violin. When he’s finished, the performer states that his violin teacher was Jack Benny and the number he just placed is entitled,”Minuet in G” by Johann Sebastian Bach. Tuning to the spectator holding the Music Selection Chart, the performer asks him to read aloud the name of the song next to his randomly selected number. The spectator replies, “Bach’s Minuet in G!” Both take a bow as the audience applauds. This sold in 1999 for $130. Includes the instruction booklet which signed by Larry Becker. Condition as new, never used in original box. | |
