This beautiful piece comes from Woodmagic and HOWARD HALE. Something nearly impossible to find these days. I have owned it for many decades and love it! The wood block, about 3" cube, is handsome and it comes with a red rope that has brass-fitted ends for easy insertion through the block, a red velvet tie carry bag, and the original instructions. It is very suitable for living room, parlor, and stage.
[Steven's Magic recently sold out of the similar Block Off Cord effect by Richard Spenser, at $95 each.]
