Mirage. Los Angeles, Thayer/Loyd, ca. 1930. A glass of water is set on a small table and covered with three tubes. The tubes are removed one at a time from the stand. The glass has vanished. Suspecting that the water is hidden under the draped stand, the magician removes the drape, too. The glass is gone. Stand 13 ¼” high. Good. Scarce. Though manufactured by Loyd, this trick was sold exclusively by Thayer.
