Vintage U.F. Grant Design Dove Vanish/Take-Apart Box– MAK Magic Complete working For Sale

A vintage U.F. Grant design Dove Vanish Box, also known as the Take-Apart Box, a classic piece of stage magic apparatus based on one of Grant’s most enduring designs.The effect allows the performer to openly display the apparatus and then separate the sections during performance, creating a highly deceptive vanish, appearance, or transposition suitable for doves, silks, streamers, spring flowers, and other lightweight production items.This example is fully functional and remains in very good vintage performer condition. All major components are present, fit together properly, and operate as intended. The clear viewing panel is intact and the apparatus presents well for stage, parlor, or club performances. This weighted stage prop in the green and yellow for was most likely manufactured by MAK Magic. I can’t confirm this, however, other items I have from the same performer of this quality in identical colors were all made by MAK, so it is reasonable to believe the same for the vanish box.Condition Notes:• Fully functional and performance ready
