Scarce and Rare Vintage Collectible

A full description of the Indian Dove Chest routine by Jimmy King from the catalog listing is in the pictures.

Background

The Jimmy King Indian Dove Chest is a vintage stage magic apparatus produced by MAK/Grant Magic around 1975. It is designed for stage performances to facilitate the vanishing of a pair of doves, a rabbit, or other small animals, or to transform them into different objects.

The Jimmy King Indian Dove Chest has some of the most eye attention graphics and this older version of Jimmy King effect presents a unique version of those graphics. 

Beautiful MAK Magic effect for your shelf or performance. 

Magic Effect

• The Vanish: The primary illusion allows a magician to place a pair of live doves, a rabbit, or other small items into the box and make them completely disappear.
• The Transformation: Alternatively, the birds can instantly transform into entirely different objects.

Details

Overall minimal imperfections on the exterior of the chest itself, however the interior shows extensive paint wear from use, performances and age. A great repaint project or cover the interior in felt!

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

OLD VERSUS NEW

Items listed under Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic may range from 10 to 100 years old or more. These are not new magic props. They may show signs of age, handling, storage, repairs, fragility, paint loss, decal wear, or prior performance use.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
