Item Details
Description
Vernon, Dai (David Frederick Wingfield Verner). Card Penetration Apparatus. Okito [?], ca. 1930. A ribbon is threaded through a handsome wooden box with two holes running through it. A card with corresponding holes is dropped into the box. When opened, the card is threaded on the ribbon. 3 x 5 x 1”. Finish well worn and cracked, but in operating condition. Owned by Dai Vernon. Accompanied by a LOA from the former owner. The box bears an Asian decal and pinstriped lines similar to many Okito-made props, but research has not revealed evidence that Okito manufactured a similar prop. Vernon and Okito were friends, and Okito presented at least one other piece of apparatus to Vernon.
