Neyhart Rising Cards. Los Angeles: A.P. Neyhart, ca. 1935. Complicated mechanical Bakelite card houlette and custom-manufactured deck of Bee-back playing cards. Wear to gimmicked rubber rollers as usually encountered, otherwise very good condition. Uncommon. With this clever mechanical device, any card freely named by a spectator rises from the pack. Neyhart manufactured limited quantities of these props during the Great Depression, retailing them for the high price of $37.50. This set was owned by “The Pioneer Mentalist" C.A. George Newmann. The instruction booklet is SIGNED by the inventor and INSCRIBED to Newmann.
