Description
These Sand and Sugar Canisters are in plated brass. The small canister measures 7 1/4" high with a diameter of 3 1/8" and the large canister measures 9 1/4" high with a diameter of 5". The large canister is shown empty and the small canister is used to pour its contents into the large canister and surprising to the audience it fills the large canister! The magician is able to cause the contents of the large canister to vanish and once again uses the small canister to fill it to overflowing ultimately causing the contents of the large canister to vanish once more. Made popular circa 1940 with theme and story lines revolving around war time rationing. Harry Blackstone Sr. in the United States made great use of this effect. Jack LeDair and the credited inventor of the effect Louis Histed showed this with popularity in Europe. Includes instructions. Condition these show wear with some dents and patina spots to small canister, in used condition.
