World’s Greatest Prediction Chest. Columbus: Bob Mason/Arturo, 1972. Red lacquered hardwood chest contains a prediction of a forthcoming newspaper headline. Diabolical method allows the prediction to be loaded in full view of the audience. Includes sham/gimmicked book, prediction chest, and sample envelopes. Brass-bound chest 8 ¾ x 7 x 6”. Rare. A decidedly low-tech version of this classic piece of magic apparatus, this one of only two known to incorporate the clever loading mechanism into a hardbound book, as opposed to a wooden key box.
