Rising Card Chest. American, after Martinka & Co., ca. 1900. Hardwood box with glass bottom into which a deck of cards is placed, after the audience looks completely through the interior. While the magician stands some distance away, the lid of the box pops open and three chosen cards rise from the interior. Glass panel is removable. With original winding key. Finish scuffed, general wear evident, thread in need of re-winding. Good.
