Block Prediction Deluxe AnAl Mann Exclusive

NOTE, The deluxe model has a metal tube embedded in the block which should last a lifetime. The erasor on the gimmicked pencil falls off inside the blook and into the palm, secretly. It is best to use onion skin paper for the predictions. Always use the accordian fold and handle the block in the horizontal plane.
