The Soothsayer. Flein: Rüdiger Deutsch, ca. 1988. Spectators select a colored ball bearing a hand-painted number, and think of a word from one of four printed lists. The ball is dropped into the soothsayer’s open mouth, and when the performer returns to the room, he instantly knows the thought-of word. Complete with lists, balls, and resetting pins. Hand painted cabinet 10 x 7 x 7”. The builder’s own example, and one of fewer than ten manufactured. Near fine. See Albo, Classic Magic Apparatus Supplement II, page 31.
