Lit Candle To Silk by A&B Magic Products

This effect, crafted by A&B Magic Products, demonstrates the exceptional quality of the magic manufacturing business operated by Alexander Great and Ray Bonner during the 1960s and 70s. They were known for their expertise in producing top-notch brass items and other metal-based magic tricks, some of which stood on par with renowned manufacturers like Brema. Their creations were often featured by magic retailers, including Abbott’s and Roydon’s, among others.

In addition to the touted features in the advert below I particularly like these other features:

• The candle fits very snugly in the brass holder.
• The two caps are start in the left and right pockets, making it a seamless and natural movement to discreetly discard the tip while retrieving the second cap.
• The caps themselves are very solid and stay snug at the end of the tubes with ease.

Notice: Use your own Chop Stick.

Effect: Magician displays a beautiful brass candle holder containing a candle 1 inch in diameter and 8 inches tall. He now lights the candle and then removes the candle from the holder.

Next, he holds a highly polished metal tube in front of the candle flame so that the audience can see right thru the tube, showing it to be absolutely empty. He then covers the candle with the tube …

WHILE THE CANDLE IS STILL BURNING AND THE AUDIENCE CAN SEE THAT THE CANDLE IS ABSOLUTELY IN THE TUBE AS THEY SEE FLAME OF THE CANDLE EVEN AFTER THE TUBE HAS COVERED THE CANDLE!!

Magician now blows out the candle and then caps both ends of the tube with tissue paper and metal caps.

THEN IMMEDIATELY THE TISSUE SEALS ARE BROKEN AND SILKS ARE PRODUCED FROM EACH END OF THE TUBE!! TISSUE SEALS ARE THEN REMOVED AND THE AUDIENCE IS AGAIN ALLOWED TO SEE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE TUBE SHOWING THAT THE CANDLE HAS VANISHED!!

Special Features of this trick:

• No skill required to work this trick!!
• Anyone can do it at once!
• Candle does not use a dummy wax candle on the tip. The candle is made with a precision tip that works like a lighter with a wick.
• The metal rings that seal the ends of the tube are specially made as the tissue paper is in the seals ahead of time and held in place with a metal ring!! Simply snap on the caps and the ends are sealed!! Can be worked away from all tables as it is completely self-contained!!
