Harvey. New York, Gimacs Unlimited (Richard Himber), ca. 1958. The magician borrows a hat, has a card selected and returned to the deck, and the cards are thrown in the hat. Then, an "invisible rabbit" throws the cards out of the hat. Finally, while the magician stands at a distance from the hat, the selected card rises from inside. Mechanical device can be inserted into any hat and removed just as easily. Includes typewritten and illustrated instructions by Richard Himber sent to the original owner. Good condition. Scarce.
