Cannonball Vase. Turned hardwood vase from which a cannonball-sized wooden ball vanishes, later reappearing under a top hat or other object. Height 19 ½”. Two repaired stress cracks at the rim, one with refinished minor chipping. Nearly identical in appearance to the vase illustrated in the pages of Thayer’s Magical Woodcraft catalog (1912). A truly fine example of this classic conjuring effect.
