Vintage Wooden “Headless Gentleman” Restoration Trick

Vintage Wooden Gentleman Decapitation Magic Trick – Handcrafted Novelty Illusion

This is a classic vintage novelty magic trick featuring a finely crafted wooden gentleman figure designed for visual comedy and magical surprise. The effect allows the performer to seemingly decapitate the figure, collapse it at the waist, and then magically restore it to its original condition.

The set includes both a gimmicked hinged figure for performance and a solid examination figure, allowing the illusion to be shown fairly before and after the effect. An original velvet cloak is also included, adding theatrical flair and authenticity to the presentation.

Handmade in Mexico, this piece reflects traditional craftsmanship and is ideal for collectors, vintage magic enthusiasts, or performers who enjoy classic visual gags with strong audience reaction.
