Pillar of the Magi. California, Milson-Worth, ca. 1985. A selected card is lost in the pack. The cards are placed in the base of a large platform from which extends a brass pole. At the top of the pole is a brass eagle. At the magician's command, the cards spring from the base in a shower, but one card is caught in the beak of the bird – the spectator's selection. Finely crafted wooden base with inlaid eagle design approximating the look of an early American/revolutionary-era decoration. Base measures 13 ½ x 13 ½ x 6". Overall height of 37". Fewer than six units were manufactured. Several unobtrusive stress fractures to brass column, otherwise good condition.
