MARVELOUS WINE AND WATER SEPARATION – ROTERBERG: rare investment piece

A glass of red wine and glass of water are shown. The contents of both glasses are emptied into a clear glass decanter, resulting in an equal mixture of wine and water. The decanter is then covered with an unprepared handkerchief. Over each of the glasses is placed a nickeled cover, which are first shown to be empty. The mixed fluids are now commanded to leave the decanter and return to the glasses. Upon removing the handkerchief from the decanter it is now seen to be empty. When the covers are lifted, one glass is seen to again be filled with wine, and the other with water, as at the beginning of the effect. Self contained. In wonderful original condition. glasses are replacements but are very near in appearance to the originals.  A rare piece of seldom-seen conjuring from the turn of the twentieth century. Rare. Once part of the famous Circus Museum of Sarasota Collection and carry their unique CMS number Id.
