A timeless piece of visual magic, the Chinese Sticks routine has enchanted audiences for generations. Two beautifully crafted sticks are shown, each with a tassel hanging from a cord.
 
When one tassel is pulled, the opposite tassel mysteriously rises… then falls… then rises again… all while the magician insists the sticks are not connected in any secret way. The effect grows funnier and more impossible as the routine builds.
 
CONDITION NOTES:  Overall in very nice condition with lighter-than-typical wear for its age.   This is a very nicely crafted vintage set of Chinese Sticks, likely handmade, though done with impressive care and skill. While the exact maker is unknown, the build quality suggests someone with both pride in workmanship and an understanding of performance needs.
 
Unlike many perfectly cylindrical sets, these feature a subtle flat portion along the bottom, allowing them to rest securely on a table as part of the routine or display. They measure approximately 16.75 inches in length and are constructed from a solid, heavy-duty plastic material rather than wood, giving them durability while maintaining a classic look.
 
A wonderful set for parlor or stage magic, offering both charm and practicality. Ideal for collectors, performers, or anyone who appreciates well-made vintage apparatus.
