The Productive Japanese Lantern

A square Japanese lantern with removable top is shown empty. Top is replaced and then removed again.

Magician reaches in and produces five or six smaller Japanese lanterns which he hangs on a bamboo pole or string stretched across the stage. He then produces yards of brightly colored paper ribbon and a variety of colored silk handkerchiefs. If desired, silks may be gathered up and rabbit produced from them, or a large sixfoot silk with a butterfly, peacock, parrot, or Chinese figures painted on it.
