THE PERFORMING PACHYDERM

The “daddy” of animated card props, this is a cut-out of Jumbo, the famous African elephant of P.T. Barnum’s “Greatest Show on Earth”. And obviously, like all elephants, he uses jumbo cards for his card games ! Have one or more cards freely selected from a “Jumbo deck”. Mix them back into the deck, and drop them into Jumbo’s top hat. Then Jumbo comes to life. He tips his hat, and with his trunk picks out the selected cards, one at a time. Second-hand!
