DollHouse Illusion

Resembling a child's dollhouse, this illusion is shown all around and then opened to reveal an empty interior. After being closed, it is reopened to reveal an adult assistant within. It was invented early in the 1920s by British performer Frederick Culpitt and soon became a popular standard in many performer's act. This version was made and owned by Werner Dornfield (1892- 1982), a well-known magician and master of ceremonies
