MORTAR and PESTLE or WATCH MORTAR. Interesting device in which the magician seemingly destroys a spectator's watch. The watch has actually been palmed by the magician and secreted into a hidden chamber of the device. The magician then covers the mortar with the board sleeve and appears to crushe the watch, but is actually only destroying another watch which is already in pieces. With the pestle, cover, and crushed watch included. Mortar is 5 3/4 inches tall (14 cm).
