As found, the stand for the gong was in very poor condition. This was repaired by Cambridge magician Philip Bond in 2014. The original mallet is in the collection but is in too poor a condition to use. The photograph shows a modern replacement mallet. The gong has the name Jasper Maskelyne on the back (see photograph) but we know of no photograph that shows Jasper on stage with the gong. Does anybody have one? If so, please contact the Curator of this website, who will be very pleased to hear from you.
