Balancing Cigarette on Coin. Carmelo. Paris: Académie de Magie Georges Proust, ca. 1970s.
An unusual close-up effect in which a cigarette is balanced horizontally on the edge of a half dollar, apparently defying gravity. The cigarette remains balanced even as the coin is turned, after which both objects may be examined. The apparatus consists of a gimmicked Kennedy half dollar fitted with a concealed mechanical device. Accompanied by the original three-page illustrated instructions by Carmelo, published by Georges Proust's Académie de Magie in Paris. Coin exhibits light surface wear and toning. Instructions show minor age-related wear. Excellent condition.
