Cardini’s Glass Production Bag. Ca. 1935. Black velour bag with ribbon trim at mouth. After being shown empty, and with his wrists held by spectators, the magician would produce a glass of water from this bag. Secret pocket closes with three snap fasteners. Includes glass and rubber cover (the latter no longer functional). 9 ½ x 9 ¼”. Trim shows wear. Though seldom seen today, this effect was popular with magic’s inner circle in the 1930s and 40s. Al Baker, Paul Fox, and Charlie Miller made it a regular feature of their programs.
