Japanese Conjurer Automaton. Paris: Pierre Mayer, ca. 2004. Handmade wooden automaton with exposed works. As the crank is turned, the cup in the conjurer’s hands descends, and the magician waves the fan in his other hand. The cup is raised and the ball has vanished – only to reappear in his mouth. There is no hole in the table through which the ball vanishes. Hardwood and metal construction. 6 x 3 ½ x 7 ½”. Hallmarked. Fine. With a sturdy acrylic display case.
