Vanishing Alarm Clock. American, ca. 1950. A square metal clock covered with a cloth is lifted from a tray. The cloth is tossed in the air and the clock has vanished. Mechanically complex method involves elevator trap in tray, spring-loaded sham clock, ringing mechanism, and sliding door. Tray 19 x 12 x 2”. Good working condition. Unlike most versions of this trick, there are no telltale signs of the clock on or in the tray once it has been removed; in fact, the tray can be held parallel with the floor once the clock has been removed, and the top can be cleanly displayed.
