Card Sword. European, ca. 1980 [?]. A selected card is speared on the end of a sword when the deck is thrown in the air. Unusual design in that the hilt is hinged in a way to both conceal a card and at the same time allow it (when the magician desires) to be released from its hiding place and appear speared on the sword. 31" long. Good condition.
