FAUST'S GREAT MAGIC SHOW "WORLD OF MYSTERY".

"THE CAGED SORCERESS" ILLUSION.
ALI BEY'S ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, and one of the outstanding illusions in his marvellous act in the 1940's and early 50's. Cabinet is shown to be empty, by running a fire torch around the inside. A small cage, with a live canary inside, is suspended inside the cabinet. Doors are closed, the cabinet is turned around completely, and then it is dismantled, to reveal a golden cage with a girl inside. Ali Bey's girl wore a canary costume, and she swung on a perch!
