Jumping Card and Coin Revelation. Dutch, ca. 1890 [?]. A card is chosen and returned to the pack, which is dropped into a wooden box resting atop a tall wooden column; the chosen card springs from the pack shooting high into the air. Later, a vanished coin, marked by a spectator, can be made to appear in the drawer at the base of the pedestal. Height 22 ½". From the Sicking collection, and formerly owned by Henk Vermeyden, the doyen of modern Dutch magic and teacher of Fred Kaps.
