Spirit Clock Dial. Hamburg: Willmann [?], 1920s. A clear glass dial with gilt numerals around its perimeter holds a metal pointer at its center. Any number is called and the pointer is spun. It unerringly stops on the chosen digit time and time again. The clock dial can also be used to answer questions (pointing to 12 for “yes” and 6 for “no”), divine selected cards, or reveal other information. On a tall and handsome nickel-plated stand with square frame for display. Clock diameter 14”, stand height 60”. Clock includes two holes in its face for hanging from a silk sash cord. A handsome and unusual example of this classic stage magic prop. From Ken Klosterman’s Salon de Magie.
