Supreme Dove Vanish Magic Illusion

Rare, hard to find. 

UPDATE: Thanks to the knowledgeable person from the magic community, I’ve been told that this Supreme Dove Vanish is very likely an early Walter Sheppard piece. If you’re not familiar with Walt, he was known for his very high quality and uniquely designed magic props. Once you own one of his props you get a true appreciation for the time and effort Walt Shepard put in to each of his magic illusion builds. 

A very practical, yet commanding and decorative magic illusion dove magic prop. Designed to vanish one, perhaps two doves depending on size.

Outside of a dove or bird, similar small props of the same size could be vanished as well.

As part of the effect, the box, stand, and black cloth skirt that wraps the bottom of the prop can be assembled piece by piece in full view of the audience, yet after placing a dove inside and the black cloth skirt removed, box and stand disassembled there is nothing left, the dove has vanished.

Comes supplied with everything as pictured. An instruction copy from Walt Sheppard is included. 

Box measures 14” in length, 9” in depth, and 8” tall sitting on the base/stand.

The item pictured is the exact item you’ll receive.

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.
