    Disecto was invented by Lester Lake (Marvelo) c. 1938 and it was first marketed by Abbott’s c. 1942.  It is one of my favorite mini-illusions and certainly one of the most convincing magic choppers.

    This is Tannen’s version and is easily as well made and smooth as the early Abbott’s versions.  I personally prefer the red and white color scheme too and if I was performing Diescto this is the version I would use.

    This was first advertised by Tannen’s as “Abbott’s Disecto Illusion” but over time the Abbott’s was dropped 🙁

    When it comes to chopping things off Magician’s have no end of methods and contraptions to do this. The problem often is that the method looks obvious. For the small stage and parlor show I don’t think there is a more convincing and reasonably priced version than the classic Disecto. It just looks impossible.
