The Shot Glass by TCC & Jimmy Fan

A classic handkerchief trick with modern, reliable props: A glass of wine appears in a flash from a seemingly ordinary handkerchief. Developed by Jimmy Fan, The Shot Glass combines effortless handling with a convincing, clean performance – ideal for close-up and mid-range magic shows.

Why this set is convincing

• Quick setup: Ready to use in seconds, so you can impress immediately.
• Discreetly hidden mechanics: No spills, no loading from the table edge – the glass appears as if by magic.
• Drinks can be prepared in advance: Bring your drink (alcohol, tea, or juice) with you in advance and produce it immediately when needed.
• Examinable props: The glass is a normal glass that can be fully inspected by the audience.
• Versatile: Can be performed with any handkerchief or even a napkin – flexible for different stage moments.
• Portable and robust: Lightweight, travel-friendly props, ideal for on the go or spontaneous performances.

How it works

The carefully constructed mechanism allows a drink-filled glass to be carried securely and made to appear at the push of a button. When you cover your left palm with the handkerchief and lift it with your right hand, the glass appears elegantly in your left hand – without distraction, without pre-loading actions on the table. The audience can then examine the glass and even taste it, while the drink can be prepared or served immediately depending on the performance.
