Large 3.75 inch die, no double door.  Sliding gimmick sounds great.

Beautiful wood workmanship

This is really for collectors of die boxes, It looks great on your shelf beside your other collections, because of the beautiful inlaid woodwork on the doors, makes it very unique, however the shell when in the box, after the die has vanished from the box, is not well concealed.  So, I don’t think it is a good performance piece.

I paid much more for this piece, it was after I bought it, I realized how the shell looked in the box. Box is 10.5 x 5.5 x 5.5 inches

Excellent Condition, like new – no instructions

Effect: So simple yet so powerful. The moon is removed from the single cloud and placed in the double-cloud frame. The door is shut then the box is tilted. When the door is opened the moon has vanished. You close the door, tilt the frame and the audience hears the moon roll to the other side. The audience yells for you to "Open the other door" but you keep rolling the moon behind the closed one. Finally, both doors are swung open and the moon has vanished. The moon then appears above the single cloud frame.  But you do not see it, the kids see it only when you are not looking, when you look he is nowhere in sight, you open the single cloud frame, and it is empty, but when you look else where, the kids see it again, above the cloud, after the usual byplay, you finally see it also.

condition: very good, a few scratches, but mostly on the back, and can easily be re-touched, works great, and includes instructions. 

  Here's a smashing kids' trick - One which packs flat and small in your bag, and which looks big and impressive when set-up in the show.
   A very clever principle is used, different to the usual methods employed during the traditional Type 'passé-passé', sucker effects.
   On display are two colorful Castle Holders. Holders are in grey, black:, blue and white. They are varnished for protection. Holders have a cut out window right through them. In front of the holders are two colorful 14" x 10" cards. One of the cards depicts a wicked old witch, the other one a Happy Pumpkin
   The magician explains how the pumpkin is really a prince, turned into a pumpkin by the witch. The witch card is placed into the castle, and to stop her from getting out a clip is placed over the top.
   Similarly, pumpkin is placed into the other castle and a clip is placed over. Telling of tales of the strange happenings which occur after dark, the magician partially covers one of the castles with a cloth, so that the window is obscured
   When he replaces the castle on the table, the children see him craftily turning this around
   Magician takes the remaining castle with the witch looking through the window, and passes this swiftly around his back.
   Immediately it is seen that the witch has gone, and there looking through the window is the Pumpkin. When the castle on the table is uncovered there is the witch!
   The effect is repeated, the witch and the pumpkin 'repeatedly changing places. The children lose no time in telling you that the pictures are really double-sided. - There's a pumpkin on the back of the witch and vice versa;  Now the cards are removed completely from their respective castles (which are seen to be empty, apart from these giant cards). Magician appears to misunderstand the children's request to turn the pictures around. He turns them upside-down and then back: again.
    Finally, he does turn the cards over. On the back of the witch card is an ugly frog, on the back of the pumpkin, a handsome young prince.
  

Now what really makes this unusual and a fooler, is the castles have a hole in place of the window, so when you pull the entire cards out of the castle, they are seeing completely thru the castle, and out the other side. And the magician is left with two thin placards depicting the changed items, takes Hippitty Hop Rabbits leaps and bounds ahead, and what's more, the props are far more colorful, done in the excellent silk screening that was the signature of Supreme Props.  AND it packs flat and plays BIG!!!

I have more than one set of these in my personal collection,, some had a turn style leg on the bottom of the castles, so they could stand upright by themselves, these do not, and in the instructions with these they refer to using the metal stands to support them on, well these did not have any stands with them either, so I am including a set, that are obviously not the original stands.  It should be noted that this set was probably the improved version over the set with their own feet, since the feet were the weakest part of the entire apparatus, they were forever falling off, or did not do a very good job of holding the castles upright, but using the collapsible stands that is not an issue.

Prop is in Very good condition, especially when you consider their age, And includes original Supreme instructions detailing routine, however the original instructions pages are numbered 1-5, only page 1 is missing, which is just the description of the effect, page 2 starts out discussing the working of the trick, and the detailed routine, however I will include a copy of the first page from one of my other sets, so you are complete.

Also the original included a 24" cloth to cover the first castle with, I will let you supply your own, since you may have your own preference of colors etc.  The original also included two colored clothes pins, which are no longer here, so I will include 2 standard clothes pins.
