Discover a groundbreaking method to instantly produce a full glass of liquid! Steve Thompson, renowned for his hit effects like “Flite,” “Glance,” and Video Chat Magic, has teamed up with Vanishing Inc. to unveil the Appearing Glass, a creation that brings the essence of “real” magic to life.

At first glance, you might think, “Haven’t I seen this before?” While similar concepts exist, none have achieved the level of cleanliness and effectiveness found in this innovative approach. The Appearing Glass addresses the common pitfalls of such effects, allowing for a truly astonishing moment that defies explanation.

Begin by removing a folded bag from your pocket and unfolding it in front of your audience. You can clearly demonstrate that the bag is empty, even allowing them to inspect it. This initial step mirrors many marketed effects, but here’s where it gets exciting.

Traditionally, you would need to secretly preload the glass inside the bag before making it appear, often requiring awkward moves that disrupt the flow of the performance. With the Appearing Glass, those concerns disappear. As soon as the audience confirms the bag is empty, the glass materializes audibly and visibly, landing in the bag with a satisfying thud.

Your hand never re-enters the bag after it’s shown empty, ensuring an instant appearance. The audience can even reach in and grab the glass themselves right after it appears. Plus, the Appearing Bag gimmick isn’t limited to just glasses; it can also produce decks of cards, cubes, phones, and other similar items.

Custom-Made Gimmick

The brilliance of the Appearing Glass lies in the cleverly designed gimmick integrated into an ordinary-looking bag. Your audience can look and feel inside, finding nothing amiss. Then, in an instant, an object appears inside the bag, creating a moment of pure astonishment.

This ingenious gimmick is easy to operate with one hand, ensuring a smooth and fair performance. Constructed from durable, water-resistant Tyvek™, the bag is built to withstand countless performances without tearing or wearing out.

Shatter-Resistant Glass With Easy-Off Lid

At first glance, the high-gloss glass appears indistinguishable from a real one, but its durable acrylic construction means you can perform with confidence, knowing it won’t break if dropped. The custom lid prevents spills until you’re ready to reveal the liquid, and it can be quickly and silently removed with one hand.

No Fishy Moves

This lightweight glass is also easy to steal discreetly. It pairs seamlessly with Steve’s modified classic holdout technique, allowing for an invisible moment covered by natural actions. You’ll be amazed at how simple and covert this steal is. Just wear a belt and a coat, hoodie, or similar attire, and you’re set.

After the steal, you can produce the glass anytime without any suspicious moves. The best part? You don’t have to rush the reveal. With a phenomenal 220-degree angle, you can show the bag empty right up until the moment the glass appears.

Stage, Parlor, and Close-Up

This effect is an unbeatable opener for stage and parlor performances. Close-up performers will also appreciate its suitability for walkaround and street magic. With generous angles and a quick reset, it can be performed at any point in your set.

The Appearing Glass by Steve Thompson offers an unforgettable experience for every audience. Once you add it to your repertoire, you’ll find it hard to stop performing, and the high-quality, durable props will always be ready for action.
