Production of a Large Bowl of Water

This experiment is a favorite with Chinese magicians.

Performer shows a large cloth on both sides and runs it through his hands to show that it contains nothing.

He throws it on the floor, as though expecting something to happen. Again he raises the cloth and shows it freely. Once more he spreads it on the floor and a large object is seen to have appeared under it. When cloth is removed, this object is found to be a large bowl of water. Magician pours the water out from the bowl into two other vessels.
