Cherchez La Femme (Jumbo Size). New Haven, Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1930. Metal stand lacquered in red and silver which accommodates three jumbo cards. The magician mixes the cards, which can be seen through holes cut in the stand, yet the spectators are unable to locate the Queen. Chipping and wear to finish; fair condition. The modus operandi of this effect was devised by Al Baker. This is an early model with a red lacquered base.
