Ball and Cone. Maker unknown, ca. 1955. Leather cone with silver pebbled exterior and white billiard ball owned and used by Dai Vernon for the routine he first devised and performed as part of his legendary Harlequin Act. Cone slightly out of round and ball yellowed from age, but otherwise very good condition. Vernon claimed that his inspiration for the Ball and Cone routine came from the New York World's Fair of 1933.
