Vintage Owen Brothers Magic #802 Visible Block Penetration Trick Okito

Description

This is a rare & visually stunning piece of apparatus - and the effect is equally amazing when performed correctly.
The original Owen Brothers prop has been completely stripped and reimagined in an Okito & Milson/Worth inspired design.
The wood chimneys feature a red and white enamel paint with custom graphic and accent striping. The block & gimmicks are also beautifully finished (it's sad the gimmicks are seen so briefly).
The clear Lexan sheet (not original) has beveled & polished edges and has a custom sleeve for protection.
It all fits inside a velvet-lined custom-built & decorated wood case with brass hardware. Even the bottom of the case has an accent! A LOT of love and hours went into bringing this prop back to life. It probably works better now than it did when it was originally manufactured.
It's truly a beautiful piece and would make a great addition to a display or performance.
Includes:
2 Wood Chimneys (approx 9" x 3 1/4")
1 Wood Block (approx 2 3/4")
2 Metal Gimmicks
1 Clear Lexan Plate with Protective Pouch (approx 5 1/2")
1 Velvet-lined Custom Wood Case
Copy of Original Instructions
Effect:
Magi displays 2 wood chimneys with holes on all sides - they are shown to be empty. The chimneys are stacked one atop the other with a sheet of glass (plexi) between the 2. Magi then introduces a beautifully decorated wood cube and drops it into the upper chimney - it visibly passes down the chimney; through the glass and is seen dropping out the bottom of the lower chimney. Both chimneys are now shown empty and the block is once again placed inside one of them with the glass underneath - it once again visibly passes down the chimney, through the glass and appears in the (hat, box, container, etc.)
