Spirit Drum. Flein: Rüdgier Deutsch, ca. 1999. Handsome hardwood and brass snare drum hangs above or sits atop the conjurer’s table. On command, and without contact from the performer or any external force, the drum beats out answers to questions posed by the audience, once for “yes” and twice for “no.” Diameter 14 ¾”. Mechanism working, but exact operation not apparent. A companion to the Harlequin table, and constructed by Deutsch to hang from the framework above it, however, the drum may be operated separately.
