“Dizzy Dial” by Town House Magic

This is an example of the well known Chinese Compass trick. As the magician keeps turning the compass over, the arrow changes its direction in a confusing manner. In 1952 Town House Magic of St Louis, Missouri sent this to Davenports as a complimentary sample, complete with instructions. The costs were given as 25 cents each for a small size metal one ($2.50 per dozen) and the stage size with stand was $3.50.
