Cherchez La Femme (Jumbo Size). New Haven, Petrie & Lewis, ca. 1930. Metal stand lacquered in red and gold which accommodates three jumbo cards. The magician mixes the cards, which can be seen through holes cut in the stand, yet the spectators are unable to locate the Queen amongst two other court cards. Hallmarked. Light wear to finish and base, unobtrusive labels pasted on frame, lacks cards (easily replaced). The modus operandi of this effect was devised by Al Baker.
