The Coffee Trick (Coffee Berries Changed to Hot Coffee, White Beans to Sugar, and Bran to Hot Milk). London: Hamley?s, ca. 1880s. Including two handsome large cylindrical brass vases and a small tin bran vase, the larger vases outfitted with spring-loaded bayonet-catches facilitating the several transformations in the routine, a design consistent with the early English design described by Hoffmann (Modern Magic [1876], pp. 388?91). Larger vases 19? tall, bran vase 6? tall. Minor dents and tarnish, but good overall.
