Show three wood blocks labeled A, B & C, along with a square tube. Block A is removed and put inside a hat. The remaining two blocks are covered with the tube. Ask the kids “Now w is Block A?” Of course they say “In the Hat.” They are correct (this time)! You lift the tube showing the position of Blocks B & C. Block A is placed on top of B & C, then covered with the Tube. You ask “Where is Block B?” Whatever they say is WRONG! You lift the Tube and Block B has VANISHED! Reach into your hat and remove Block B!
The prop overall is about 8.5″ tall. The blocks are a little under 2.5”
History: The classic illusion dates back to the late 1920s (invented by William Wisnewski and manufactured by Floyd Thayer) and has been produced by various magic makers over the decades.
