Description
This collection contains several vintage stage magic props and trick apparatus, primarily featuring classic production, vanishing, and silk-related illusions.
The two main signature items included are:
• Dagger Livestock Vanish Box: The bright yellow box with black spots and a handle is a classic Dagger Livestock Vanish Box (often produced by MAK Magic). A dagger or blade is pushed through the slot, and a small live animal (like a dove or small rabbit) inside seemingly vanishes when the box is opened or shown empty.
• Magic Dragon Production Mirror Box: The black square box with the yellow dragon illustration is a classic Magic Dragon Production Box. It features an internal diagonal mirror that creates a deceptive optical illusion, hiding items placed behind it to make objects, silks, or prize prizes "magically" appear or disappear.
The fabric pieces accompanying the boxes are typical magician accessories—including a colorful checkered production cloth, a red fabric disguise or cover, and vibrant green, blue, and yellow silk handkerchiefs commonly used for vanishing or color-changing acts.
