260: Tom Mullica's close-up case. With props.

Tom Mullica's close-up case. Frankfurt, Magic Studio Weinbruch, ca. 1960. Attache-type case with numerous interior compartments that contain many of the props used by Tom Mullica in his close-up performances. Included in the case are a supply of Tom-Foolery playing cards, "Real Smoke" gimmicks, Mullica's "Frog in my Throat" rubber frog gags, bar napkins, matches, a chrome card clip, cigarette and lighter gags, and cigarette packs, Mullica's Ring Flite, the prop for Mullica's smoke ring gag used in his publicity pictures, and three different unauthorized versions of his Mullica wallet. Case is covered in faux alligator skin; props and case show wear from constant professional use. Case measures 18 x 13 x 5". Hallmarked. Generally good condition. Purchased during Mullica's stint in the army, this case was used by Mullica for over two decades, including the time he spent in Atlanta at the Tom-Foolery Magic Bar Theatre.
