Comedy Version of Wandering Glass and Bottle

This is an excellent comedy effect if you have an assistant to help you.

As described above. During the passing of bottle and glass, assistant looks on with interest. Finally, while performer is busy talking to audience, assistant steals the bottle out of cover at performer's right and, placing it under his arm, sits down in a chair to enjoy the magician's discomfiture about to come. However, when magician lifts the cover, bottle is still there and assistant is surprised to find that it has vanished from under his arm. Performer continues as though nothing had happened.
