Robert-Houdin Automaton "Antonio Diavolo"
By Nancy Fratti

Jean,  I suggest you contact Steve & Jere Ryder <amltd@voicenet.com>

Steve and Jere brought a magic show to one of the MBSI national
meetings in New Jersey, with many fascinating Robert-Houdin automatons.
They also either showed a video or the real automaton of the trapeze
artist (too long ago, I can't remember!) and many jaws dropped when we
saw it.

Good luck!
