Harry Anderson’s Ferret Box. Azusa: Owen Magic Supreme, ca. 2000. Oblong wooden cage with brass bars from which the magician removes a live ferret, which he then proceeds to eat or tear to pieces. Based on the Loyd Guinea Pig Box but designed for Harry Anderson for use with his pet ferret. Length 16”. One of two made by Les Smith for Anderson. Anderson revived interest in the Guinea Pig Box trick when he performed the effect with his pet, “Skippy,” as part of an appearance on Saturday Night Live. The screen went dark after Anderson apparently ate the animal, causing pandemonium on the NBC switchboard.
