Al-Jo Card Frame.John Snyder Jr., ca. 1940.
Widely regarded as one of the finest card frame effects produced. Two selected playing cards appear back-to-back, sandwiched between twin glass plates housed within a wooden frame. At the moment of appearance, a flash bulb mounted to the frame fires, providing a dramatic visual punctuation. The apparatus may be held by a spectator during operation and is fully examinable.
Complete with original instructions, test lamp, bulbs, trigger/release mechanism, and original custom wooden packing case. One of approximately 50 units manufactured. This one is number 15. Not tested for operation. A true piece of magic history. Wear consistent with age; very good condition overall.
