Description
Condition: Good with original instructions - envelope has wear and will need to be replaced; for this effect, you would replace the envelope each time anyway.
Original Snip Snap Silk, a classic parlor and pocket illusion popularized during the golden age of mid-century magic dealers like Tannen's.
This effect relies on a diabolical multi-compartment paper sleeve layout combined with a secret thread preparation, allowing the performer to cleanly cut or separate the outer sleeve while leaving the interior silk completely unharmed and fully restored.
Condition Details:
-
Apparatus: The black paper sleeve prop is structurally sound and retains its original folding structure. It shows light edge wear and vintage age patina as pictured.
-
Instruction Sheet: Includes the highly collectible, complete original cream-colored typewritten instruction card detailing the exact method, preparation of the hidden compartment, thread setup, and full performance routine.
A wonderful piece of magic ephemera to complete a mid-century apparatus collection or addition to a parlor display. Ships completely flat and carefully reinforced to ensure safe handling.
