Block Vanish and Appearance (Sewell Block): Michael Baker only 2 made

This is certainly one of the highlights of our auction.  It is a block Vanish and the re-appearance of the block on a rod in a cabinet shown perfectly empty.

The Effect- A decorated cabinet is shown. It is open front and back. Through the cabinet runs a rod, from left to right, extending through the hoes in either end of the cabinet.  A large block with a hole in it is seen threaded on the rod with the cabinet.

The rod is removed and the block taken form the cabinet. the rod is re-inserted and the cabinet door closed.

The just removed block is placed upon a stand  A square tube is placed over it and a wand is threaded through the hoes in the side of the block trapping it within. The tube and block are lifted and taken toward the audience. The performer places this assembly on the palm of his hand and removes the wand.  The tube is lifted to who the block still in place and again the tube is lowered and the rod inserted. Now the magician grasps the tube from the side and removes the wand but the block does not fall out! the tube is then tilted so the audience can see clear though it. The block has vanished inches from their eyes!

The door on the cabinet is opened the the block is seen once again resting on the rod within the cabinet!.

This is a stunning outfit. It is in  very good condition.  There is a thin  scratch on one side of the vanish tube which i was able to photograph in the close up shot of this tube.

The cabinet is 10×4.5×5.5 inches. The  platform is  10x9x5 inches. the tube is 6.25×3.75×3.25 inches.  The block is 3 inches square. Each prop is beautifully decorated on all sides.  A wonderful prop to perform or display.
