Chapender's Diminishing Cards

Includes cards, original envelope, and two sets of directions. Larger cards have smaller sets attached to the backs with small bands. The cards have a somewhat waxy finish to aid in easy fanning. Good condition. Based on the design of Martin Chapender, a magician known for his billiard ball manipulations who died at the young age of 25 (or possibly 26) after contracting meningitis.
