Masterpiece Magic
The Massey Vivisection.
The original Edward Massey Vivisection illusion at the Magic Circle London.
This is a legendary stage illusion that was nowhere to be seen. Most thought it had been lost, destroyed. Then, like magic, there it was again.
Important British television executive and magic expert John Fisher acquired it. Then he donated it for display in the exquisite purpose-built Magic Circle of London building.

It is very large as most illusions of the kind can be. The Magic Circle magicians, those masters of concealment, managed to find the perfect display place though very hard to capture on video. I think I got there.
Much fun anyway.
