Fire Bowl to Flowers. North Hollywood, Merv Taylor, ca. 1959. Magician produces a copper pan, which bursts into flames. He clamps a lid on it, and on removing same, the pan is full of flowers. 8 ½” in diameter. Hallmarked. Good. Scarce. Taylor was well-known for his magic apparatus, much of it made from spun copper, and his Hades Fire Bowl was a best-seller. This version of the trick with the flower production is, however, rarely encountered.
