KEITH CLARK'S CARD ON SWORD. A magnificent example of the card on sword apparatus which belonged to and was used on stage by Keith CLARK (Pierre FEYSS 1908-1979 - aka Pierre Cartier). Clark is famous for the elegance of his stage props, each made to his exacting specifications. He is also remembered for the care he took of his stage apparatus. Anyone who saw Clark perform on stage is likely to remember his card-on-sword routine, which he performed with this sword. The sword is in its original travelling case and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by Georges Proust (a close friend of the late great artist), collector, magic dealer, and publisher of works on magic. United States, circa 1960.
