This is very effective and puzzling. The bowls of water are produced in a stack and it seems hardly possible to handle them without spilling the contents.
Performer's assistant stands holding a cloth. Performer takes it from him, and after showing it freely, places it on the floor. Suddenly cloth is raised and a stack of four glass bowls filled with water and containing goldfish appears in view.
How it is done
The method, 22 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
