Improbability. Chicago, National Magic Co., ca. 1950. A handkerchief is placed in a clear tube, which is then thrust through a hole in a small wooden frame, resting on an easel. A giant card with a hole in its center is now pushed into the frame, down through the tube and handkerchief. A spectator may now remove and examine everything – the card has apparently penetrated the tube and handkerchief. Frame on easel stands 12 ½” high. With instructions. Very good.
