Description
One of the more interesting pieces of Petrie Lewis that is mechanical by design and made of brass. After the magician extinguishes a candle and removes it from a beautiful brass candlestick he shows a glass and a handkerchief, throwing the handkerchief over the glass and placing it atop the candlestick he asks for the loan of a top hat (remember this trick wasn't made just yesterday we're going back several decades).

After showing the borrowed hat all around to be normal he places the hat crown down on top of the covered glass. Walking away from this the magician commands the glass to penetrate and slowly the hat is seen to sink down over the covered glass! Slowly it descends until finally the handkerchief is almost completely covering the brass candlestick.

The magician walks up and places his empty hand into the hat and slowly withdraws the glass! Removing the hat also in a slow and deliberate manner he shows that the hat is without damage and then he pulls away the handkerchief leaving the brass candlestick standing alone. This is quite an eerie effect to see presented and one that will certainly leave a lasting impression.

This is one of the finer Petrie Lewis pieces that is not to easy to come by. I am sure that there will be those that see a simple candlestick and not being personally shown will have no idea of the beauty of the mechanism built in and the self contained function of this beautiful and in my opinion marvelous piece of conjuring apparatus.

Includes glass and fitted disk along with covering cloth with form. This is in perfect working condition and a fine trademark stamped piece. Includes instructions. At the turned edge rim of the base you will find a metal spinning hairline seam not affecting working otherwise condition very fine. Don’t pass this by.
