Magic Card Star and Cabalistic Pointer. New York: W.J. Judd, ca. 1885. A chosen card is one of seven placed on nickel-plated arms around the circumference of the star. A pointer at its center is freely spun by the magician, and mysteriously stops on the chosen card with unfailing accuracy. Cast metal base with weighted pointer. Height 24”. Rare. Judd listed this catalog in its 1885 catalog as item number 274, at page 67. This is the first example of the effect we have encountered.
