Frame with thumb tip, 20th century

The magician shows the audience an empty rectangular wooden frame with a small hole in each side. He then takes two yellow silk handkerchiefs and gently presses one into the hole on the left side and the other into the hole on the right side of the frame.

Next, he inflates a balloon and clamps it in the center of the frame. Now he magically makes a red silk handkerchief disappear completely. A moment later, the balloon bursts, and to everyone's surprise, the red silk reappears, knotted between the two yellow ones!

• The item measures 29.8 (11.7") x 16.8 (6.6") x 4.8 (1.8") and comes with the required silk, the special gimmick to make the silk disappear and 10 balloons.
