Shooting Through a Woman. New Haven: Petrie and Lewis, 1960s. The magician levels a rifle at his assistant, who stands in front of a large target. A large bullet with attached ribbon is fired at the assistant. The ribbon and bullet pass through her and hit the target, yet the ribbon is seen running through the assistant and can be pulled back-and-forth through her midsection, even though she is unharmed. The ribbon is then pulled free. Includes rifle, target stand, gimmick, some paper ephemera, and a printing block from original owner’s advertising. Housed in wooden carrying suitcase. Wear from use, but overall very good condition for this uncommon P&L stage illusion.
