Auto-Magic Picture Gun. New York, Stephens Products Co., ca. 1940. Ostensibly a toy gun, this device was sold to mindreaders and mentalists by Nelson Enterprises of Columbus, Ohio as well as F.G. Thayer as a device that could be easily concealed in a dark séance room. The gun could then be used to project images – apparently ghostly images – onto clouds of smoke, walls, or other objects. Cast metal gun, original display box (lacking top) and films. Good condition. Uncommon.
