Enchanted Glass by Zanadu
Type: stage, parlor
Skill Level: 
Retail Price: $20
Effect: Objects put into the glass magically change or vanish.
Performance Time: Depends on routine
Reset Time: about 30 seconds
Angles: 
Quality: This is an extremely well constructed mirror glass. However,
the gimmick has been altered from traditional mirror glass gimmick into
a new gimmick that is practical, looks better and is much more versatile.
Dr. Mitch: I think this is an extremely well made well thought out prop. It is a nice apparatus that you can do many many different things with. It comes packaged with an effect called "The Enchanted Necklace" in which beads appears to string themselves in mid-air. However, you can use this glass in many, many different applications. It is just so well made and so logical that you cannot miss!
Mike Maione: I agree with Mitch. This is a clever prop. The traditional mirror glass has been modified to make it much more versatile (change a solid to a liquid or vice versa for example). What are the drawbacks....in the sample we saw from Zanadu the load chamber was a little shallow and the mirror doesn't extend down the glass to the bottom....which means that without careful handling the load might be visible and the gimmick might be discerned. Art from Zanadu says his new units have deeper chambers and the mirror extends almost to the bottom of the glass. With those improvements....this is definitely a thumbs-up prop.
