Vanishing Candelabrum. Glendale California, Loyd, ca. 1945. A faux bronze candlestick with three burning candles vanishes from atop a thin wooden tray. Requires no assistants or special stage furniture to accomplish, and the tray can be shown on both sides after the candelabrum has vanishes. Hallmarked. Spring roller in need of restringing, otherwise very good condition. With instructions. Uncommon. Advertised as "Loyd's first post-war release," this trick sold for the considerable sum of $42.50 in 1945.
