Collectors Workshop Book of Spells: scarce clockwork version

This is simply a beautiful prop to have in your collection, in your library, or to put your close up props in which is its intended purpose.  When you are ready to perform you wave your hands over the book and the lid slowly and mysteriously begins to rise.  As you motion it rises further.  You open it and remove your props.  Then the lid slowly closes on its own and you are ready to begin your close up show.

This is a scarce items and has the brass clockwork motor in it.  In  very good condition. Operates smoothly.  No original instructions but a write up is included from the previous owner describing perfectly how it operates.  Has a built in side door that opens.  This is a large book 15.5x12x5.5 inches.  A thing of beauty!
