All metal construction having a platform which is elevated on four ball feet and a separate column into which wire hoop assembly fit into the top. The magician inflates a round balloon and places it into hoops that are carried over and fit into the column upright.
A deck of cards that has been resting upon the platform is taken and a card selected and returned to the deck with shuffle. The cards are placed back on the platform and the spectator is asked to name the card. Standing some distance away the magician points his finger at the balloon as if holding a pistol and the balloon breaks revealing the display of the selected card where the balloon once was!
A small area of patina occurs on the platform top. Condition fine.
