This is Dr. Jeffrey Pearson's Private Estate item in Very Good Condition.
Original written instructions and in great shape with the box, a wand, and one metal ring.
Kenard first sold his Mystery Box (Ring on Wand) c. 1941 and it has been made my many dealers ever since. This one is from Daytona Magic. Sometimes online Kenard is spelt with two ‘n’s as in Kennard – this is incorrect. His name was Kenard and he was a wholesale magic manufacturer (Kenard Novelty Co.), inventor and dealer in New York City (Kenard’s Magic Shop) in the 1930’s – 1950’s.
Effect: A pocket size cabinet, a solid metal ring and a wooden dowel are shown. The ring is put at the bottom of the cabinet, and the are doors closed. Then wand is thrust through holes and cabinet shaken to prove rattling ring is free. Presto! Doors opened and ring is on wand! Examination permitted.
The gimmick is stronger and hidden by lamination not a piece of felt. The ring is larger. Our box is made from solid oak and treated with Tung oil. The box is approximately 3.5″ x 4″.
