Headline Prediction Chest. American, ca. 1950. Handsome miniature hardwood chest with curved lid, hammered copper accents and keyway, and studded with brass brads. Locked inside the chest is a prediction of a future newspaper headline. When opened on the day of the magician’s performance, the billet inside the box bears a prediction that matches the day’s headline. Fringed green interior. 6 x 3 5/8 x 3 ¾”. Includes two brass keys (one gimmicked). Very good working condition. First example we have encountered in this form. From Ken Klosterman’s Salon de Magie.
