Condition: very good in original box. No instructions, but relatively self explanatory.
Marked Cigarette in Case is a classic mid-century close-up and parlor routine. A cigarette is borrowed from a spectator and distinctly marked for identification. The performer lights the cigarette, then vanishes it cleanly from their bare hands. Upon opening a small leather pouch/case that has been sitting in plain view, the spectator’s actual marked cigarette is found inside—still lit! Only one cigarette is used, and no complex sleight of hand is required.
Why Add It to Your Repertoire:
This vintage prop represents classic mid-century close-up magic ingenuity, combining a high-impact direct vanish with an impossible location reveal. The secret mechanical pouch/holder handles the internal loading and heat protection safely, allowing for a startling, fully self-working illusion. Featuring its original leatherette pouch, inner gimmicks, and the original vintage red box with yellow printed label (bearing the original $1.50 price point), this complete outfit is a wonderful collectible for vintage magic history buffs and tobacco-magic collectors.
