Item Details

Description

In a custom wooden carrying case also manufactured by McKinven. Unique. This outfit was specially manufactured for Walter Graham by McKinven and can be operated by the magician or a hidden assistant. The device was described in Robert Parrishs book, Great Tricks Revisited (1998). A copy of Parrishs book accompanies the prop.
