A beautiful, authentic piece of vintage mid-century stage magic history: an American Flagstaff Production illusion. This is a classic, highly collectible apparatus engineered for the instant, visual production of a massive American flag from a seemingly empty, compact wand.
Key Features & Details: The Flag: Features a 50-star American Flag made of genuine, high-grade silk. The silk is incredibly lightweight and compressible, allowing it to easily pack down into the handle for the illusion.
The Mechanism: A smooth, multi-segment telescoping metal pole. The handle/base cap is solid brass (providing excellent counter-weighting for the production action), transitioning into a silver-plated/chrome-finished telescoping body.Era: Post-1960 (indicated by the 50-star flag constellation).
Maker: Unmarked/no visible hallmark, but built with the exceptional craftsmanship, weight, and mechanical style consistent with premier mid-century American magic manufacturers like Abbott's Magic or Owen Magic Supreme.
Condition:The apparatus is in decent vintage condition. The telescoping mechanism extends properly. The silk flag remains vibrant and soft with typical light vintage wear but no major tears or dry rot that would impede performance. (Note: Please see photos for exact cosmetic condition of the metal finish and silk).
Perfect for magic history collectors, vintage prop enthusiasts, or performing magicians looking for a classic patriotic grand finale! I do have another one available as well. I don’t want to do a quantity listing because I want to take separate pictures for condition. I’m putting a lot of magic items up, some of them are pretty rare so check my listings as I do combine shipping :) please message with any questions I will do my best to answer them.
