Cocktail Shaker styled Niffin tubes were made in the 1930/40’s by Thayer Quality Magic and Stull too. The first one was invented by American magician Paul Fox (real name Paul Fuchs) in 1935 and debuted by him at the 1936 IBM Convention in Lima, Ohio.
This Thermo Canister by Thayer is a real beauty and certainly looks like some sort of thermos bottle instead of an obvious magician’s prop. I dressed up the routine and added a storage box that also provides ample coverage for the move when required which is always a welcome bonus, instead of having to introduce other props for cover.
