Magician's Table. Philadelphia: Carl Brema & Son, ca. 1920. Box-like wooden table rests on a Kellar-style base. Doors at the front of the table open to reveal an empty interior, lit by small bulbs from within. Even so, the tabletop conceals one traditional black art well, one elevator trap, and another well. The latter two devices are concealed by sliding traps in the tabletop operated with threads at the rear of the table. Rear load chambers vented to accommodate livestock. 40" high. Good working condition; restored by John Gaughan & Associates. A unique Brema-made prop.
