Description
Condition: Very good.
Add a classic piece of mid-century magic history to your collection! Manufactured by the legendary Town House Magic of St. Louis, Missouri around 1952, the Dizzy Dial is a highly collectible and delightfully baffling pocket trick. Based on the traditional Chinese Compass effect, this vintage mechanical marvel relies on a clever design rather than sleight of hand, making it a joy to perform or display.
The Effect
The performer showcases a “modern”, uniquely shaped dial with an arrow pointing in one direction. Mysteriously, no matter how many times the dial is turned over, flipped, or spun, the arrows continuously change directions—pointing horizontally, vertically, together, or in completely opposite directions at the whim of the magician.
