1957 Ed Mellon's Synonymental Card Trick Effect Magic Illusion Routine Vintage

Description

Vintage Ed Mellon's "Synonymental" - 1957
Effect:  "18 cards are shown to each bear  different word.  These cards are then dealt into three separate piles.  Three objects:  a pencil, a cigarette and a coin are then introduced.  Anyone is permitted to pick up the first pile of cards, mix them, then deal them face down in a row.  This spectator then selects one of the six cards and the pencil is placed on the face down card.  The second pile is then dealt out face down in a row and a spectator is told to make a free selection and a cigarette is placed on this second face down card.  The third pile is then dealt out, after being mixed by a spectator and the spectator is given a coin and told to "toss it" on any of the face down cards.   In each case and after every selection has been made, the remaining cards are shown to be different.  The climax comes when the selected cards are turned over and the spectator(s) have selected the exact cards - each of which names the article placed on the card exactly."
This item came from the estate of a home magician. Comes with complete instructions and cards.  The props (coin, cigarette and pencil) are not included with this item and you will need to supply them separately.   This home magician liked to make his own notes and sometimes create his own rendition of effects.  Included with this item are his notes and some extra sets of cards he created.
If you have any questions or need additional photos, please ask before purchasing.  Since you will be receiving the secret of this illusion I will not accept returns on this item.
Please see our other listings for more magic items, many vintage and hard to find, from this same magician's estate.  We will be listing more items over the coming weeks.
Thanks.
