Chalet Magic Crystal Silk Cylinder

Painted Blue Tube Version

Very collectible crystal silk cylinder effect with one of the many paint or chrome tube schemes that Chalet Magic produced this in.

Background

Core Magic Effect

• Demonstration of Emptiness: The magician shows a clear acrylic cylinder and two larger opaque cover tubes to be completely empty.
• Loading the Cylinder: Several colorful silks are placed into the clear inner cylinder.
• The Transformation: The opaque tubes are placed over the clear cylinder. When they are removed, the silks have vanished and are replaced by a variety of items such as:
  • Solid Objects: Colorful balls, candy, rope, or balloons.
  • Live Productions: Some versions are “fish tank ready,” allowing for the production of live goldfish in water.
  • Fruit: Transformations into oranges, lemons, or bananas. 

Key Features of the Chalet Version

• High-Quality Materials: Features a turned wood base with a high-gloss finish and chrome bands.
• Durability: Uses seamless plastic tubing and a chrome outside tube.
• Versatility: The interior tube is specifically designed to hold liquid without leaking, allowing for more complex “wet” productions.
• The “Addition”: Some rare sets include an “addition”—an extra tube that allows the magician to show the apparatus “clean” more fairly at the start.

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.
