Vintage Pop-Up Tie *PREOWNED*

VERY RARE COMEDY PROP MADE IN AUSTRIA
From the estate magic collection of a professional magician.

This little metal gimmick can be secretly controlled to make your tie stand up in the air!

This oldie but goodie probably dates from the 1930s.
Back then, this gimmick was marketed like this:
"Very, Very Funny!
With our special device, you can cause your necktie to pop-up & remain in a horizontal position away from your body.
You can do it slowly and spookily or very, very quickly!
Self working.
Your hands are free & are not used to produce the effect.
Works with any long tie.
Imagine how much FUN you can have with this at restaurants, bars, parties, or at the office."

This vintage prop does show some wear, especially to the envelope.
The instructions are in German.
