217. Val Evans Card Rise. Colon Michigan, Abbott’s Magic Co., ca. 1959. Selected cards rise from a wooden Houlette resting on a slat-frame tray. Tray can be covered with a cloth, and all props are examinable at the conclusion of the effect. Tray measures 11 ¾ x 9 ½”. Good. An unauthorized version of this classic and baffling effect, likely manufactured by Abbott’s due to Val Evans’ death, after which the prop went out of production for several years.
