Vanishing Glass. Colorado Springs, Paul Fox, ca. 1945. Intelligently designed chrome-plated pitcher that facilitates the vanish of a glass full of water from a paper tube. After disposing of the glass in the cleverly made pitcher, the tube is crushed to show that the glass has vanished. Similar to Tannen's Crash Glass Vanish. With original tumbler. Pitcher stands 5 ¾" high. Fine condition. Rare. Paul Fox was one of magic's elite, a great thinker, designer, and performer who counted Dai Vernon, Al Baker and Cardini among his closest friends. Today, Fox is best known for his revolutionary design of cups for the Cups and Balls trick. In addition to the cups, he manufactured several other magician's props, including Linking Rings, a coin pail, and this vanishing glass trick. His creations were made in extremely limited quantities – likely 12 or less. Even fewer Fox originals have survived the years.
