Abbott’s Magic, ca. 1940s.
A beautiful visual transposition of matter and motion. The magician displays a quantity of loose metal links, freely poured from a glass onto a wooden tray for all to see. The links are counted or stirred about to show they are unconnected. The performer then returns them to the glass, sets the tray aside, and raises the glass high.
With a graceful toss into the air, the mass of links seems to fuse in midair—landing in the magician’s hands as a single solid chain. A striking piece of parlor magic in the Abbott’s tradition, combining simple means with dramatic effect.
Complete with gimmicked tray and photocopied instructions. Glass and chain not included, though easily replaced for performance. Very good condition.
