Performer asks a spectator to assist him. He shows a glass tumbler on the table and then covers it with a cardboard tube. Performer takes a silk handkerchief and stands close beside spectator. He tells assistant to watch carefully as he vanishes handkerchief. He throws silk back over spectator's shoulder to vanish it.

Spectator is puzzled but rest of audience is very much amused by the vanish. In the meantime, performer's assistant has picked up silk and placed in tumbler with cover over it. Performer goes to tumbler, lifts tube, and shows perplexed spectator that silk has appeared there. Magician then says he will repeat the trick as this spectator may not have understood it.

He covers glass again after taking silk from it, and then proceeds to roll silk up between his hands. It suddenly disappears from his hands so that neither the spectator nor the rest of the audience know where it went to. Magician then uncovers glass again and there once more is seen the silk.
