Neckelson

Neckelson wears evening clothes and works with the stage dressed in red with his name emblazoned on a red velvet drop hung in "four." He opens with palming of cards followed by the handkerchief trick, changing their color while they pass through a paper cube. His best and closing trick is borrowing a derby from which he extracts coins plucked from the anatomy of different people in the audience then returning to stage and producing six alarm clocks, six cardboard boxes and the flags of the Allies. Neckelson has canned the assistant and does his own announcing with a pronounced accent. He will please wherever they like magic.
