    This was invented by Al Baker c. 1940 and sold by him and later Tannen’s and others.  An improved version was introduced by Al c. 1947 with a revised gimmick.  This was easier to use but unfortunately has a tendency to yellow and split after 80 years as I found when working on this 🙁

    I was able to use the original gimmick and that is what I’m using for these photos and I also had a new one fabricated using a 3D printer and it works better than ever.

    Regardless of the aging or gimmick this is a clever idea that is easy to do and looks very effective to the audience, and of course no TT’s are used 🙂
