Some have doubted me when I told the story about retrieving the box of magic tricks from the attic. I anticipated such unbelievers, so I took a photo of some of the items subsequent to removing them from the box, and I produce it for you here.
You can see the temple screen, linking rings, magic slates, sponge balls, and magic book sitting in front of the temple screen. Over the top of the screen are a few magician’s silks, but they are quite wrinkled. This is the result when silks are stuffed into a box for forty years. For scale, the automobile wheel in the background is a 20-inch.
