The Doll House Illusion

I am now about to reveal to you an illusion that has been very popular with many of our leading magicians. It was originated and first introduced, I believe, by Fred Culpitt, a clever English magician.

It has a particular advantage in being a self-contained novelty and enables the performer to present it in story form.

The performer shows a miniature house on a table. The front is opened and inside of the house shown with its various furnishings. The furnishings are removed, house shown empty and doors forming front of house closed again. Performer states that this is a doll's house and that a doll lives in it. Then suddenly the roof spreads open and lo! - up jumps a live doll! Performer aids girl assistant to floor. The sudden appearance of a grown person in such a small house is indeed a surprise.
