Trapdoor. Columbus, OH: MAK Magic Co., after U.F. Grant, ca. 1970s–80s.
Coin-through-glass style penetration effect in which a borrowed half dollar visibly passes through a clear panel secured within a small decorated wooden box. Released by MAK after U.F. Grant’s design, employing an innocent-looking mechanical principle that allows the apparatus to be shown before and after performance. Includes original instructions and plastic insert. Light wear consistent with age and use; very good overall condition.
