Many of De Kolta's illusions, such as 'Multiplying Billiard Balls', 'The Expanding Cube' and 'The Vanishing Bird Cage', are performed by magicians today. 'Spring Flower' is also one of his creations. De Kolta is known for his 'De Kolta Chair' or 'Vanishing Lady' illusion. A woman seated in a chair, covered by a large cloth would appear to vanish before an audience (large cloth included). Present-day magician David Copperfield has adapted this illusion in his own performances. No. 763 of only 1,000 copies. Codice articolo 97131
