Groundbreaking John Cornelius invention!A VERY RARE piece of vintage magic!From the estate collection of a professional magician.
In 1976, Ed Mishell wrote in his popular magic column in GENII Magazine: This is a mentalist’s dream. It is a new idea, and it is a welcome one. EFFECT: A small 4 1/4? x 3 1/4? with a dark, carved stained frame is removed from an envelope. Both sides are shown to be completely blank, just black slate faces. Spectator selects a playing card. When the slate is again shown, the chosen card is clearly named upon the slate in larger bold initials, such as A-H, 4-D, Ks or whatever. An alternate effect: The magician writes a prediction on the slate and places it in an envelope, which is then sealed. The spectator is asked to count the change in his pocket. After this is done the spectator opens the envelope and removes the slate. There, written upon the slate, is the exact amount of change that the spectator had in his pocket. This is a new principle – no flaps, no chemicals, no covers, no switches.
CONDITION: good to very good. Shows some gentle use.Slate is about 4.5" long, 3.5" high.
