Cardini’s “finale” pipe.

Cardini’s “finale” pipe. Being the oversized wooden pipe produced at the conclusion of Cardini’s cigarette routine, just after a cigar had materialized in the magician’s hands. 4” high. Carved wood, stem repaired with electrical tape. Shows considerable wear and use. One of the emblematic props from Cardini’s famous act; the magician was seen with this pipe in his mouth at the conclusion of his turn. Its production was, essentially, the denouement of his entire performance. He walked off stage to thunderous applause with this pipe in his mouth show after show, year after year.
