The wood base with its four legs stands only 6 inches high to the top of the platform and measures 14-1/4 inches in width and depth also having beautiful solid brass edging ornate by design adding greatly to the black lacquer finish. The crystal casket cage measures 10-3/8 inches wide x 10-3/8 inches deep x 10-3/8 inches high having removable vertical bars at the front and a top lid with brass knob hinged with ornate brass hinges toward the front. Most would have considered this enough but Cassini went to the extra work of attaching solid brass medallions of an Asian look to the center of the side pieces and, so that any one fortunate enough to handle this lovely piece could know the builder, he attached a small plaque of brass engraved "Cassini Magic Creations" a signature of pride.

We are left with the impression by the late Mr. Cassini, "This is a one of a kind piece" and that "One of a kind items are definitely destined to become Collectors Magic and from Cassini Magic The Limited Editions are never duplicated for any price!"

The late Charles Daniel Cassini crafted this Royal Flower To Dove some time from 1976 to 1978 and made use of electronics in the mechanism so as to give the magician freedom from off stage helpers to accomplish the magic with proper timing. The timing is left solely up to the discretion of the magician as it is he that triggers the percussion which activates the sonic switch within that activates the whole process.

Mr. Cassini operated as Cassini Magic Creations with a sub header of Precision Crafted Magic for the discriminating and when you see print advertising it is almost always certain the caption Elegance In Magic will stand out and rightfully so as so much of what Cassini crafted had every appearance of high quality presented in a classy and elegant manner. The Royal Flower To Dove is no exception as finishing touches throughout are evident upon close inspection. With livestock involved in apparatus effects Cassini gave consideration to these little friends of ours and in this piece has a specially designed elastic compartment so the dove experiences no discomfort whatever and may be secretly placed well in advance of show time.

In very fine condition.
