S. S. Henry's Find the Lady. Cincinnati, S.S. Henry, ca. 1930. A magic trick similar to the game of Three Card Monte. No matter how fair the procedure seems, no spectator can find the Queen of Hearts when she is mixed together with two jacks, even though the cards are placed in a stand, which ostensibly precludes any potential for sleight-of-hand. Handmade wooden stand with metal base, decorated by artist-magician Sheldon Spar Henry, a Lyceum and Chautauqua entertainer and noted craftsman. 17 ¼" x 11 ¼". Good condition.
