Miller, Charles Earle. Charlie Miller’s Metal Footlocker and Magic Apparatus. Sturdy metal footlocker with Miller’s name stenciled on the front panel in black block capitals, filled with dozens if not over 100 different magic tricks, props, and gimmicks owned by Miller, including versions of the Skittle & Cone trick, Dove/Rat Bottles, Lota Vases, thimbles, pull vanishers, confetti, custom-dyed silks, and a host of other parlor magic props owned and used by Miller in his performances. Some props incomplete or requiring repair, but many in good working condition and showing signs from professional use. Trunk measures 32 x 18 x 11”. Props date from the 1940s – 80s. A massive, fascinating grouping of classic magic props owned and used by one of the great sleight-of-hand artists of the twentieth century.
