The sequence begins with both cabinet doors closed. The magician waves his fan and turns to the right as the door of the magic cabinet opens to reveal his assistant standing in the narrow enclosure, blinking and flourshing her fan. He turns to the left as the door to the dice cabinet opens and, with the gong-hammer, he points into the empty interior. The magic cabinet door opens once again to disclose the assistant still inside, the magician points to the left and the right with hammer and fan, and then turns and to the left and, after several passes, beats the gong, upon which the dice cabinet door opens to reveal his assistant sitting inside. She flourishes her fan and nods while the door to the now empty magic cabinet opens. Both doors close, and the magician turns to the center to survey his audience, raising the hammer and fan together with equilibrium as both doors open simultaneously to reveal that his assistant has completely disappeared. As he lowers his arms, the doors close and the magician nods his head at the completion of his trick. The disclosure of each cabinet is accompanied by an electric light that illuminates its interior at suitable moments in the sequence. The slow rotation of the large-diameter wooden cams results in a complete revolution once every three minutes, making this one of the most complex early 20th century magician automata to have been recorded.
