Abstract
A case assembly is pivotably attached to a stand or frame by means of a hinge mechanism. Vertical slits are formed in a front member and a rear member of the case assembly, respectively. A leaf spring is provided as interposed between the front member and rear member. A dummy cutter is fitted in the case assembly slidably along the slits. A card is inserted into the case assembly from a transversal slit formed in the top of the front member. The cutter is inserted into the vertical slit in the rear member of the case assembly. The case is pivoted against the resilience of the leaf spring to project the dummy cutter out of the vertical slit in the front member. When the cutter and therefore the dummy cutter are moved vertically together, the card inserted in the case assembly will appear as if it were broken through and slashed by the cutter. Thus, using the magical trick device according to the present invention, everybody can enjoy a card slashing trick simply by inserting a card into the case assembly and inserting the cutter into the vertical slit in the rear member of the case assembly, moving it vertically or extracting it.
