Presented is a 24-card complete set of "R"-Unc "Feats of Magic" non-sports cards that was issued during the 1930s. The issue is the production of an unknown manufacturer, and quality examples – let alone complete sets – are seldom offered. The 2-1/2" x 3" cards are printed on thin stock; the fronts describe and diagram various types of magic tricks, and the backs explain how the subject tricks are executed. The contents of this high-grade assembly include: #'s 1 The Multiplying Coin, 2 The Magical Match, 3 Pushing A Glass Tumbler Through A Finger Ring, 4 Finding A Chosen Card, 5 The Mysterious Dime, 6 Making An Egg Stand On End Without Breaking The Shell, 7 Paper That Will Not Burn, 8 The Magical Banana, 9 Pushing Cards Through The Deck, 10 Which Cards Are Turned, 11 The Disappearing Coin, 12 The Mysterious Rising Card, 13 Glass Tumbler Through Table, 14 Glass Of Water Upside Down, 15 Forcing An Egg Into A Bottle, 16 To Squeeze Water From A Coin, 17 Feat Of Strength, 18 Balancing A Glass Tumbler On A Card, 19 Card Appearing In A Glass Tumbler, 20 Changing An Orange To An Apple, 21 Half Of Eleven, 22 How Many Fingers, 23 The Magic Match Box and 24 Mind Reading. Grades NM to NM/MT (a few slightly lesser). A delightfully obscure and very scarce release!
