Raymond (Morris Raymond Saunders). The Great Raymond’s Glass Through Hat. Berlin: Conradi, ca. 1930. A clear tumbler, covered with a patterned cloth, sits on a glass-topped table. A bowler hat is placed on top of the cloth. Slowly and visibly, the hat sinks down to the table. The glass is removed from inside the hat. Finely made metal table with folding legs. Gimmick operates subtly, without the aid of an offstage assistant. Restored by John Gaughan. Good working condition. Owned and used by the Great Raymond.
