A brass canister 2 1/4" in height is shown along with four different color rods. A spectator is asked to drop any color rod into the canister behind the magician's back and a covering cap placed on. Bringing the canister around and holding it up for all to see the magician emphasizes that in no way can the color rod be seen in the canister and it is placed upon the table or retained in full view in the hand. After a moment or two the magician is able to announce the correct color of the rod within and a spectator is allowed to remove it!
Easy and nicely made mechanical in brass. The secret is given. Condition very fine.
