[Parlor Magic] Collection of WWII-Era Parlor Magic Props. European, early 1940s. Including well made magic props for classic effects including a Sliding Die Box, Drawer Box with peaked roof, Card Rise Chest, Handkerchief Box, Silk Production Tube, Selbit’s Bricks (partial), Die Cabinet (partial), and other items. Most made of patterned board, or in some cases, constructed of wood or metal with colorful paper decorations. Condition varies; some in need of repair, others very good. These props were said to have been made during the Second World War when raw materials traditionally used to construct these props were scarce. Despite the unusual methods used to construct the tricks, they were generally constructed to a high standard.
