Snake Basket. England: Jack Hughes, ca. 1970. A woven basket contains a live snake who, after considerable comedic by-play (he rises from the basket with balls balanced on his head, launches items from inside, etc.), rises from the basket with a chosen card in its mouth. With instructions. Basket 12 high. Very good. Uncommon.
