Transformation Bottle. Flein, Germany: Rudiger Deustch, ca. 1988. A large bottle is filled with dry lentils by a spectator, using the funnel and cup provided by the magician. When poured out of the bottle a moment later, they have changed to millet. The transformation can be repeated. Bottle 10 ?? high. Interior of cup worn, else near fine. One of fewer than ten manufactured. See Albo, Classic Magic Apparatus Supplement II, page 25. Lots 216 ? 220 are each from a series of fine recreations of classic magic props as described in Zaubermechanik by Johann Conrad G?tle (Nuremburg and Altdorf, 1794), crafted in a limited edition by noted German magic collector, performer, and historian Rudiger Deustch. The props, while constructed in modern times, rely strictly on the methods and technology described in G?tle?s text.
