Grant's Magic Eye. [New York], U.F. Grant, 1936. An unusual and early use of electric eye technology as a modus oprandi for magic tricks, including the invisible activation of a Talking Skull, starting and stopping a radio on the magician's command, and myriad other effects. Neatly packed in a metal case. With original instruction manual. Good condition, but not tested for functionality. Uncommon. Piggybacking on the international acclaim surrounding David P. Abbott's séances, advertisements for this device heralded it as a way to "Turn Your Home into a Real House of Magic.
