Glass, Candle and Silk Fantasy

By Claude Klingsor

The Illusion Effect

• The Penetration: The magician presents a solid, lit candle and a glass filled with milk (or another liquid). Defying physics, the candle is seen to cleanly penetrate straight through the glass.
• The Production: A silk handkerchief is cleanly produced from the center of the performance space or from within the props.
• The Vanish: To conclude the sequence, the candle completely and inexplicably vanishes into thin air.

Acquisition Details

USED – Includes gimmicked glass (plastic tumbler) and two silks that show their age; no candle is included. The original instructions are included however are very faded, barely readable. As a result I made a copy on a printer set to the highest darkness setting to provide a copy that is readable. Please review the pictures for the exact item you will receive.

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

OLD VERSUS NEW

Items listed under Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic may range from 10 to 100 years old or more. These are not new magic props. They may show signs of age, handling, storage, repairs, fragility, paint loss, decal wear, or prior performance use.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
