Hi folks,
I thought I would post this here and ask your opinions. I have a Duck Tub built by John Daniel. John was a partner in Owen Magic at one time. I am not sure if this prop was built by John while he was at Owen, but it is an excellent prop. (Tub, gimmick, and 2 huge trays) Orson Welles has used it, in the video below you see him performing it, with John and Cathy Daniel as his assistants. Cathy has confirmed that John built it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0Qiiy6jJtg I have no idea what the value would be, other than saying a min. might be the current selling Owen price,but does the Welles association add value to it, for a magic collector, or to a Welles collector? Is there much "stuff" around that Welles used? Blair

If you're trying to sell it, why not contact Davud Haversat and Tom Ewing? They run a magic auction house that caters to collectors.

Hey Gerry,
I have not considered selling it (yet) as I do not have any idea what the value may be, so don't want to waste folks time. Thanks for the tip though! B
