Used magic trick in very good condition - rare item

A picture of "'Billy the Kid" shows him as a young man and with a cowboy hat, boots and guns. The picture is striking, silk-screened in flesh, brown, yellow, red, blue, green and black, against a solid yellow background. It's big, 12 inches x 8.5 inches!

Two other cards, produced from first-class art-work and in color, depict two fierce-looking Indians with tomahawks. These figures are bold against a blue background.

All pictures are on a heavy board, plastic-laminated front and back. Each card has a 2 inch hole through its center.

Three children are invited to help as you tell how Billy was captured by the Indians. The picture of Billy is turned over and placed back-outwards in a plastic, clear-fronted holder, also with a hole through the center.

The two Indians are placed in a similar holder, this time without a hole and of a different color, so there's no confusion there.

A single length of white rope. about 3 yards in length, is used to tie Billy up, being passed around his body. The ends of the rope are passed through the holder and picture.

The Indians dance around and then the magic occurs! Mysteriously, the rope passes right through the body and Billy the Kid escapes! When the picture in the holder is shown, it’s an Indian. Billy the Kid appears in the second holder that’s been in full view at one side.

Lovely, clean magic!

The trick is a delight to work. Remove the cards from the holder and you are ready to work it right away. No setting-up with the rope either.

This is top-class magic and a great effect.
