CIRCA 1960s and VERY DESIRABLE!From the collection of a retired professional magician and magic collector.
These HALF DOLLAR SIZE coin holders were designed by Sam Berland (1907-1987), a magic dealer and inventor of popular effects and routines. His Princess Magic Shop in Chicago opened in 1925 as the first street-level magic shop open to the general public.Until he sold the shop in 1951, Berland and his partner Joe Berg demonstrated many of their effects for eager customers, including the Princess Card Trick, still popular today.
DESCRIPTION: These coin holders will each hold up to five half dollar coins. Each holder has a rubberized stopper on the inside, to both secure and make it easy to remove coins from the holder. They are all painted a painted a neutral color. The extension is gripped between the fingers.Thus, multiple coins can be produced from the hand, giving the illusion that you are producing coin after coin. Half dollars are NOT included.
You'll get TWO routines with the detailed and illustrated instructions: the MISER'S DREAM and the SHOWER OF SILVER.
