<p>[QUOTE="Squidsworth, post: 206886, member: 3587"]Thanks for such a detailed reply. I do wonder if like you say the male assistant could actually be a female in disguise and mask. I'm going to study the original again for clues. From my digital photo, zooming in, it looks like there could be hair concealed to the back, the top half of his face looks odd, his legs look too long, and his eyes look a bit black. Could all just be optical illusions due to lighting, background etc and the power of suggestion now that you've mentioned it, but maybe you could be right! I like the straw idea too. </p><p>Guess we're looking around mid to late 40s, early 50s then. The box seems quite elaborate as well, a nicely decorated item by the looks of it, so it doesn't look like an amateur thing to me, therefore the magician should be known? That's the missing peice at the moment.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
