Hofzinser’s “The Twenties” Coin Box Set. Vienna: Klingl, 1920s. Two finely made coin boxes with tall finials on each lid, of different diameters. Used to transpose the location of a stack of “twenties” (coins) and a small die, or other similar routines. Largest diameter 1 ½”. Near fine. Scarce.See Richard Hatch’s translation of “The Magic of J.N. Hofzinser,” page 53, for a description of the props and a suggested routine therewith. This effect was said to be one of Hofzinser’s favorites, and a closely-guarded secret.
