Moore, E. J. Four magic props used by E.J. Moore. Including a set of home-made Chinese Sticks, a Vanishing Birdcage with attached wrist strap and pull, a nickel plated pointer for a Crystal Clock Dial, and an ungimmicked pan used to catch the beans in Moore's performance of his signature trick, The Tears of Buddha (in which the performer swallowed two dry beans which were then apparently reproduced from his eyelids). Condition of the props generally fair. A note in Jay Marshall's hand details the provenance of the pan; a typed, unsigned note describes the provenance of the other three props.
