A beautiful walnut cabinet with black lacquer accents and brass trim, along
with a red lacquered block, and tasseled spike complete this elegant visual
penetration.
The patter line suggests a challenge issued to the loyal subjects of Emperor
Ch'Ang. The object was to remove the sacred block from within the small temple
without removing the retaining rod/spike or touching the block! Those who failed
would be sentenced to death!
All the challengers fail and lost their heads, save one lowly magician who
was adept at ancient magical secrets.
As he recites a magical formula, the sacred block visibly penetrates the rod
and falls clear of the cabinet falling into the performers hand.
The block, rod, and cabinet can be minutely examined and no clue will be found
to this most baffling illusionette.
Cabinet measures 4 3 /4 in. high, 2 1/4 in. square. The block is made of solid
wood measuring 2 5/8 in. square. The rod is adorned with a brass knob and a
gold tassel. Complete with exciting patter and instructions.
