Rare Yogi "optical" toy by Marx The mechanism which is similar to that of a camera shutter, produces an optical illusion, with an east Indian man appearing to chop the head off a Fakir. The Fakir’s head is on a long sheet steel neck which is inserted in a slot on the front of the toy. The lever on the side of the toy is depressed and hey presto the sword appears to cut effortlessly through the Fakir’s steel neck. But how does the sword pass through solid steel? This toy was expensive to produce and no more were made after world war two. Excellent condition. Size: across 5,2 cm.
