Maskelyne’s Square Pig

This is the Square Pig, with its carrying case, that was used at Maskelynes. The magician draws a pig on a slate but uses only straight lines. The audience says that a pig should look round, so on the command of the magician the pig actually turns its head round so that it looks the other way.
