Eight sharp blades are taken one at a time from this display stand and shown to be genuine by slicing paper. They are stacked and placed in the stainless steel cup for a moment while the spool of thread is taken up and a length of thread removed.
The thread is placed in the mouth followed by a drink of water and then the blades follow the same route. Reaching just into this lips with his forefinger and thumb the magician takes one end of the thread slowly pulling and the blades come out one at a time dangling from the thread!
Includes the original box of new genuine blades but the duplicate dulled set is absent. A minor amount of surface rust appears just inside the non-stainless steel box to hold blades which is located within the round stainless steel cup.
This is a trademark stamped piece for the Collector of fine Merv Taylor made apparatus from the 40's and 50's. Includes instructions. Condition fine.
