Over 25 years ago this sold for $75.00 and when you see the engraving on both the sleeve and the paddle body you will understand why.  After a selection by magician force (method to be determined by your performance style), the Egyptian symbol vanishes from the sleeve and appears on the paddle body.  Beautifully made of plastic and sleeve is bevel finished on corners.  This is as close as any came to Taytelbaum!   Condition First Rate.
