Spirit Nut. London: Jon Martin, 1960s. A heavy brass nut is threaded on a piece of sash cord and secured with a knot, yet the magician can release it from the line instantly. Precision-made brass nut based on the Brema design, with matching “front." Accompanied by two letters from Martin to the owner of the nut. The first mentions the nut (and other tricks) sent to McKenzie by Martin. The second, an ALS, is more personal in nature and is SIGNED “J. Martin." A RARE item from the workshop of the “master magical mechanic" who was considered the great builder of his era.
