ORIGINAL MILSON-WORTH SILVER METEOR VANISHING BIRDCAGE
-- HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE -
This is an authentic and absolutely beautiful chrome and brass Milson-Worth "Silver Meteor" Vanishing Birdcage. Absolutely silent and built to last a lifetime. A wonderful prop for a classic effect! Impeccible condition.
EFFECT
The magician holds a beautifully constructed metal cage, containing a bird, between the palms of his hands. Suddenly, without effort and while being closely ...watched, the cage disappears. The sleeves are pulled up and the coat is opened but the cage has gone. Completely vanished!.
As these cages were originally handmade, there are little imperfections and very slight bends in a couple of the crossbars and some of the thin wire links are not precisely straight. This is to be expected and part of its charm.
The cage just slides shut perfectly when pulled by the cord.
CONDITION
Fine.
INCLUDES
All original apparatus & instructions.
SIZE
The open cage measures approximately 3.75" x 3.75" x 5”.

ABOUT MILSON-WORTH
In the early sixties, Jim Simon manufactured quality wooden magic in Texas. He sold many of his items to Joe Berg in Chicago.
When Joe Berg sold his National Magic Company and moved to Los Angeles, he persuaded Jim Simon that the climate for magic was better in California.
Jim Simon moved to California and settled in Sun Valley. He renamed his company Worth Magic Novelty Company in honor of his former home. His business flourished, and he soon engaged the services of Eric C. Lewis, a well known inventor and magician.
Meanwhile, Charles Johnson was starting Johnson Products, which was to become the standard of excellence for magic coins around the world. Charlie Johnson sold Johnson Products to Sam La Porte who continues enlarging on principles established by Charlie’s early work.
But Charlie couldn’t stay retired from magic. He soon began marketing a line of close-up magic under the name of Milson Magic. When Charlie passed away, his son Lynn, an engineer with his own career track, felt obligated to fill his father’s outstanding orders. He did so.
But while he was building these items, more orders came in. So, he filled those. But while he was doing that, more orders came in. And while he was filling those…
When Jim Simon passed away in 1974, Lynn Johnson, now completely hooked on creating and building quality magic products, bought Worth Magic form Jim Simon’s estate, merging the two companies under the name of Milson-Worth Magic. With augmented facilities Lynn set out to establish Milson-Worth as a major quality manufacturer and supplier.
