Cords of Cairo. New Haven, Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1930. The magician shows two wooden wands connected by a length of cord. The cord is cut, yet when the magician pulls on the short cord, it lengthens and the long cord shortens, acting in sympathy with each other. 11 ¾" long. Stand lacking. Small chips in finish, but overall good condition. Uncommon. Though difficult to substantiate, it is likely that these wands were manufactured for P&L by Thayer, as they were often advertised as a Thayer product in The Sphinx and other conjuring periodicals.
