In all the funny bits in magic this ranks as one of the highest on the list. After a card is selected and returned to the deck with a shuffle the magician states that he will find the selected card and will cause it to vanish from the deck travel through the air and appear in one of three balloons.
He states to a spectator that absolute free choice of any of the balloons may be had and what follows is pure entertainment. As the magician is talking one balloon releases and flies off blowing itself out then another balloon slowly deflates. As for the last balloon it is seen to break and the card is found in place.
In this original version there was at one time a force deck and special Ace to Four card and that is absent. The Ace to Four card was an additional gag for the wrong card to be made right. No balloons supplied includes 3 pages of illustrated instructions. A hard to find scarce item. Condition fine.
