Description
Okito (Tobias “Theo” Leendert Bamberg). Okito’s Mat Trick. Theo. Bamberg, ca. 1915. Being the apparatus built and used by Okito as the finale to his act. In effect, the magician shows a large rattan mat with leather borders to be empty. He rolls it into a tube. The mat is then hoisted above the stage and instantly, Okito produced from inside a quantity of gigantic and brightly-colored cloths, three live ducks, two giant metal canisters, and a veritable garden of nearly 100 feather flowers which filled the stage. The effect was so strong that Okito commissioned Adolph Friedlander of Hamburg, Germany to design and print a giant two-sheet lithograph picturing it in action.
