Staggering. New York: Richard Himber, 1962. Solid 14-karat gold ring set with large red stone penetrates a red ribbon threaded through it. Other effects are possible, including Linking Finger rings. With original instructions and mailing box airmail cover addressed by Himber. Very good. According to Himber’s early advertising for this effect, only 50 Staggering tricks were manufactured, “by a Fifth Avenue Jeweler.” The retail price at the time of the effect’s release was $35.00 – a high sum in 1962.
