Circa 1990's, Mel Babcock stage version with 3" block. The magician takes an alphabet block and places it into a handsome wood box from which it then vanishes. The magician takes in hand an oblong wood container open at top that is empty and suddenly the block makes an appearance within! As suddenly as it appeared it now vanishes and the container is set aside. Reaching over to a paper sack or a hat the block is shown to have made an appearance within!
As in the beginning of the effect the magician stated the block vanished from the first box but did not show it having vanished. This box is now taken in hand and opened showing the block indeed vanished as now an orange or apple or tennis ball is shown within and removed. Quality made of beautiful solid natural finished woods and includes tennis ball. Hat or sack not supplied. Includes instructions and this piece is trademark stamped. Condition very fine.
