Ghost Glass by Magic Wagon - Monday 9 August 2021

[Olaf S]

The performer displays a beautiful wooden stand with a wooden cover resting on one side along with a wooden tube on the other side. He now lifts the tube showing a clear (acrylic) glass and then lifts the cover showing a cloth. He then covers the glass with the cloth and places the wooden cover over both the cloth and glass - The tube is then placed on the other end of the stand with no other action of any kind done ...... Now, the performer lifts the wooden cover one last time, showing the glass and cloth are still in place and calls attention to the fact that nothing can happen to the glass without lifting the cover first. The performer then snaps his fingers and immediately lifts the cover showing the glass has completely vanished, leaving only the empty cloth on the stand! - The glass has truly gone. Now, with empty hands and no hesitation whatsoever, the performer lifts the tube and reveals the previously vanished glass!

Only one glass is used and an initialled adhesive sticker can be affixed anywhere on the glass, if
desired! The effect is completely self-contained and nothing other than the items shown is used!

The mechanical method is absolutely ingenious, and does not rely on electronics, springs or magnets to make the effect possible and the glass can be shown up to the very last second!

Ghost Glass is a variation on the seldom seen Collector’s Workshop effect called Toast of The Town which by itself is a fabulous mechanical marvel. If you’re unfamiliar with the method, you’re going to be amazed by the very unique and intricately built mechanism used in this baffling mini magic illusion.

The entire set is absolutely striking in appearance and it is one of the most difficult and complex tasks our wood craftsman has ever attempted to construct! ... The wooden tray is approximately 18.5cms wide, 3cms high and 8.5cms deep. The tube is 4.2cms wide, 10.7cms high and 4.2cms deep and the cover is 6.9cms wide, 7.2cms high and 6.9cms deep ...The entire effect has been completely handcrafted from natural aged teak wood with a lightly distressed oil finish.
Please note that a cloth not shown in the image is also included.

Not too shabby, Olaf. Both Madison's and Olaf's have nice features to include in one's performance.

[Olaf S]

lnlver, i had to google this "s" word first to find out the meaning

This senence immediately did not seem very flattering to me !?

Can you please explain further what you did not like so much

[PeterW]

Olaf “not too shabby” is sort of a slang phrased used in the English language. It’s actually a compliment and could be described as “nicely done!” or “pretty darn good!”

Hope that helps! The English language is strange with odd phrases like that.

Olaf, it's a clever way of saying that you did an excellent performance.

Sorry about the confusion. I watched Pat Summerall doing NFL commentary many years. It was one of his pet phrases.

lnlver & Peter thank you for the clarification of foreign language insider codes
