The Ghost Card

This version was put out by Davenports using large size cards. The original copyright goes back to 1907 and 1910 by Burling Hull. The effect is that the magician shows a fan of six cards and asks for one card to be named. Miraculously the chosen card vanishes from the performer’s hands without any covering at all being used. Complete with instructions. Note the Davenport Demon on the Joker.
