Mirage. [N.p., n.d., ca. 1920s] A glass of water is set on a small table and covered with three tubes. These are removed one at a time from the stand. The glass has vanished. Suspecting that the water is hidden under the stand, the magician removes its drape. The glass is gone. Stand height 14 ?? high. Includes second matching stand. Some general wear and soiling, due to age and use. Good. Scarce. This version of the Mirage trick is thought to pre-date the scarce Thayer/Loyd model of the 1930s.
