Figures of Foo – Esposito’s Magic Workshop ESTATE

Large size for work on stage or parlor, paddles in stand are approx. 14″ high. In working condition, ready to go into your show. Esposito was a rather crude manufacturer so I would not put this in the category of a collectible, rather a worker.

Display the four paddles, calling attention to the fact there are 5 sets of numbers on each side of each paddle. Thus each of the paddles contains 10 entirely different sets of numerals. Hand the paddles and easel to a spectator for examination. Then instruct him to place the paddles on the easel in any arrangement he desires. There is no force and he has a free choice. Call attention to the fact there are over 300 different combinations possible. Magician steps away while the spectator arranges the paddles. The spectator is instructed to add up the columns of figures as he has arranged them and to write the answer in the space provided on the bottom of the easel. After this has been completed, the Magician, without once seeing the front of the paddles announces the correct answer.
