- Lot Description
Frame of Life and Death Sideshow/Spook Show Illusion. Circa 1970. An audience volunteer places her head in the cabinet, and as the magician adjusts the controls at its side, the skin from her face slowly vanishes to reveal a ghastly skull, which may be removed from the cabinet and displayed, leaving a headless body inside the device. The process is reversed, and the assistant is removed from the apparatus unharmed. Modeled on the original apparatus devised by Bill Neff and built by Abbott's Magic Co. Height 52". Wear evident from heavy use, but working condition. Requires third-party shipping.
