Lantern Ball Outfit

Description

A Lantern is filled by a large ball. The ball is removed and placed into an opaque canister. Instantaneously and visibly the ball reappears back inside the lantern!

The Lantern Ball is a very old item, and one of the few purely mechanical items performed by street magicians and ‘Jadoowallahs’ through the decades. Its popularity can be attributed to the very strong visual effect of the item, and the fact that it can be performed surrounded, under all conditions.

Effect: The performer displays a Lantern which resembles the Lantern used by railway guards in trains years ago. The Lantern can be seen through from three sides. At the beginning the complete interior of the Lantern is filled by a large ball. The ball is removed and placed into an opaque canister.

The performer declares that he will make the ball travel invisibly from the canister and re-appear visibly inside the Lantern. After building up a suitable tempo, the performer holds up the Lantern, and instantaneously and visibly the ball reappears inside the Lantern! The canister that the ball was placed into is shown to be completely empty!

Note: The apparatus supplied can also be used as separate props to vanish, produce, or transform items limited only by your imagination.

You are supplied with the Lantern, canister, and two spring balls. The Lantern and canister are beautifully powder coated. The Lantern is approximately 5.5 inches high and 5 inches square. The canister is 5.5 inches high and has a diameter of 4 inches. The spring balls are approximately 3 inches in size.
