Sawing Hermann Watch. Arizona: Richard Gerlitz, 2010s. Manufactured in the tradition of the “El Torero” pocket trick, but fashioned from a handsome vintage pocket watch. The case is opened to reveal a conjurer in the style of Herrmann standing beside a long wooden box. A pin is inserted into the face of the watch to represent the assistant’s head extending from the apparatus, and the lever is turned. Miraculously, the magician “saws” through the assistant without severing it. This action may be repeated. 2 ½ x 2”. Stand included. From a limited production run, manufactured by hand.
