There's still a lot of us older lovers of the art that go crazy when we see the beautiful shine and reflection from a piece of apparatus. Whether it be a Merv Taylor foo can or pitcher to this beautiful 6 inch Niffon tube.
A prop and/or utility that magicians' love. One of the most deceptive contraptions created in the art of magic that makes you think - how many times has this application been used in the spy trade, or used to transport some type of contraband. I mean it's just that cool. I wonder if there was ever one created that allowed it to be locked in one position.
But we are NOT in the covert business as magicians - wait a second - actually we kind of are. One of the reason this item is admired by magician's is the design and uniqueness of it's modus operandi.
In the art of magic it is always used for transformations, appearances and/or vanishes. They have been made from various medal including brass, and in different sizes and shapes. One was crafted to look like a cocktail shaker which is a great idea as you can pour a colored liquid out until it's completely empty and using strategic subterfuge open it again to pour out a completely different colored liquid. Often times silks are employed for color changes.
A professional Bizarre Magik routine entitled Neo-Alchemy created by David Birtwell used the Ronjo Mini Transformation tube can be found in Mary Tomich’s book; The Altar Flame Bound And Complete.
