A giant barrel hanging from the center of a tall nickel-plated stand is shown empty, capped with paper on each end, and a spigot is inserted. When the tap is turned on, beer, wine, and other drinks – seemingly any libation called for – is poured from inside. The barrel is likely made of copper. The largest example we have ever come across. A few dents, wear. Includes attractive weighted stand for display and performance. The gimmick moves slowly; elements likely in need of reconditioning as this has not been tested with liquid. Originally displayed in Ray Goulet's mini-museum of magic in Watertown, Massachusetts. A very large and attractive example of this classic effect that was a favorite of Dante and Carter.
