Boy what a rare and beautiful example of D.A. Tayade’s work this Rice Vase is. It stands 15″ tall which is quite a lot more impressive and rarer than the 11″ and 13″ ones you normally see. This will look amazing in your collection or in your next performance. Made from wood and perfectly hand painted this is a premium example of this classic effect.
The load chamber is massive and although you can fill it pretty close to the brim and still vanish all of the rice, I found it easier to work with if you minimize the amount of rice you use – just makes the whole effect a little more manageable and less messy without detracting from the magic.
The problem I have with this effect is normally it is over too quickly. I managed to track down a great set of routines by Eddie Joseph titled Queen Esther’s Magic Vase that appeared in the December 1965 issue of Genii magazine. And after reading through those routines I came up with the routine below.
