I've been looking for a climax to a miser's dream routine, to be performed by an actor playing the part of a magician (!) in a stage play. The routine was suggested in another discussion, where a no-sleight method was proposed, and it's a good idea but needs a big finish.
It occurred to me that it would work if the character could take a large goblet or small vase or similar (which would fit in with his performance persona), invert it or show it empty, scoop it through the air and then pour out a cascade of coins - the more the merrier. I suppose it would be like a lota flask or Foo can but specifically for coins, with their particular problems of weight and talking. Does such a prop exist? Is there a standard design for such a thing? If not, I can imagine making one or having it made, perhaps (for the full showing-empty touch) with the coins concealed in the thick stem of the goblet or maybe a false bottom of the vase, with some kind of release mechanism. Has anyone here ever constructed such an item? If so, any tips would be very welcome. Many thanks. . |

That's strange: I had an email notification of a reply but there doesn't seem to be one. Did someone have second thoughts and delete their post?

I just sent you one.
That's our departed buddy Burt, aka The Great Burtini, doing his famous Cups and Mice routine

That was probably me. I deleted my original post and then sent you a Private Message since I was discussing a magic secret.

Thanks to you both. I find the PM setup here very confusing and the alert signal extremely easy to miss, hence my confusion. I appreciate the thoughts and have replied privately.
