When the cover is removed, the silks have changed to three REAL oranges (not included) which can be tossed to the audience.

Background

The U.F. Grant Crystal Silk Cylinder is a classic stage magic prop used to vanish, produce, or transform items, most commonly by changing silk handkerchiefs into solid objects like balls, candy, or even live goldfish. Originally invented by U.F. Grant and later produced by MAK Magic (a company he founded), this utility device remains a staple for professional magicians and family entertainers. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Core Magic Effect

The Transformation: The magician places several colorful silks into a transparent, vertical tube that is clearly visible to the audience.
The Reveal: A decorative outer cover is placed briefly over the clear cylinder. When it is lifted, the silks have completely vanished, and the tube is now filled with different items, such as lemons, sponge balls, or candy.
