Dai Vernon's Bean Shooter Holdout. American, ca. 1965. Finely crafted holdout, made of brass, spring wire and thin plexiglass which allows the gambler to switch, ditch or otherwise "hold out" a small number of cards owned by legendary magician Dai W. Vernon, "The Professor." Good condition. Accompanied by a blueprint of Vernon's Bean Shooter (thusly titled), drawn by Carl V. Heck in 1976. Faded, but good condition.
