Andy Martin –
The Presto Card Frame was an early elegant beauty developed by Floyd Thayer c. 1905 (according to Dr. Albo on Disc 5 in The Ultimate Thayer). There were three sizes created: Stage or Jumbo, Close-up on a stand and hand-held. This is the middle Close-up on a stand version. Over the years the styles have changed and have become even more ornate. This appears to be one of the earlier versions.
Now if you are looking for a clever mechanical method you will probably be disappointed, however if you are looking for a practical frame to reproduce a card that can be fully examined, is easy to do, easy to set-up with nothing really to go wrong then this is the one you want.
Sometimes as magicians we forget about the effect and get more excited about the method. This frame is much better than a sand frame or most other types of frames to produce a card I can think of. You can even hand the frame to the spectator to open and remove the card pinned behind the glass. Try doing that with other types of frame!
