From the early days when one could walk into a magic shop and see cabinets full of wondrous things yet the demonstrator would bekon you and ask to borrow a half dollar.

This was placed into a handkerchief (not supplied) and handed to you to hold and you felt the coin within and he would bring forward a small glass filled with water which he would move your hand holding the handkerchief covered coin over and then tell you to drop the coin from your grip and you would hear it hit the liquid filled glass.

The handkerchief would be pulled away and peering into the glass you would see nothing and as a further enhancement another empty glass brought into play and the glass with liquid turned over and poured into this other glass! The coin has vanished.

Includes original box glass and instructions and that special something. This is a winner. Circa 1930's. Condition very fine.
