Performer displays a lantern that resembles the ones used by railroad crossing guards years ago. It is clear--allowing the audience to see into it from all angles. Inside the lantern is a large red ball which the performer removes and places into an opaque container. Upon the magi's command, the ball instantaneously and visibly reappears inside the lantern and the opaque container is shown empty! This is a quality professionally constructed item made from metal and glass. The cube shaped lantern measures about 4 inches square and is fitted with a carrying handle. It is supplied with two quality Goshman 3" sponge balls and full instructions and suggestions for use. If you wish it may be used as a production box for flowers, silks streamers, etc. This is a beautiful and very versatile prop and is great parlour magic!
