Summary
Magic trick - brass spherical cup with lid on stem and base on a tazza stand. Red and green stripes to body. Inside is a rotating sphere with top and bottom open and a floor across the diameter which flips over as the top part of the brass cup is rotated, thus making whatever is put inside disappear.
Provenance
Given to the National Trust with Snowshill Manor in 1951 by Charles Paget Wade.
