Effect:

A tall, clear plastic cylinder is freely shown and three 18-inch silks (not included) are let down inside the cylinder as shown. A metal cover, open at both ends, is then slid down over the cylinder.

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

The cylinder can be shown empty at both ends, the silks having vanished completely.

Vanish silks, change them to solid objects, switch them for effects like 20th Century Silks! Change them to Flags, Ribbons, etc.

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.

Details

Used, clear tube has been separated from base and will require additional glue.

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.
