The Mysterious Flight from Glass-Cylinder
Here is an effect that will puzzle magicians. Into a glass cylinder is first placed a red silk hand-kerchief well
into the center where it can be seen, into each end is placed a green silk which completely then encloses the
red silk. However, as quick as a flash and amidst the audience the red silk vanishes from the cylinder,
leaving just the two green silks on either end. At once he hands the cylinder (how about you wise ones)
to the audience who carefully remove the two green silks from same. Really a remarkable feature in any
act. Price complete $3.50.
No. 37B. The Flying Handkerchief'
Forming a cone from a news-paper the performer gives it to a spectator to hold, another cone is formed
in the same manner, but a handkerchief is dropped into same. It is turned over at the top and given to a
spectator to hold. A change is commanded - to take place, the handkerchief to vanish from one cone and
to appear in the previously empty paper cone. At once the members of the audience holding the cones are
requested to open them and much to their amazement the magic change has taken place. Finest apparatus, $2.25


No. 38B. The Mysterious Pedestal
We have many calls for this item and we have finally found this perfection for our customers. An empty
glass tumbler is placed on a beautiful nickle-plated stand and a spectator covers it with a handkerchief.
No sooner is this done when the handkerchief is re-moved and there is found a missing flag or handkerchief
of a previous trick or one just vanished. We furnish a mighty beautiful stand that you will be proud to own.
Complete; $4.75.
