Rice and Orange Trick. Boston: C. Milton Chase, ca. 1900. A triple transposition trick, in which an orange and a quantity of rice change places from inside a nickel-plated vase to the top of a borrowed hat covered by one of two metal cones. The vase hallmarked with Chase?s signature, the cones in their original period padded packing box, the end bearing a paper label. Rice Vase 12? high; finial possibly replaced. Good overall.
