This is a Magic Candle that instantly appears at the performer's finger tips. The Appearing Candle is in fact a high quality Plastic sheet coil attached to a ferrule. When released it opens out into the shape of a Magic Candle, over 12" (approx) in length. In the closed condition, it measures around three inches in length, and may be easily concealed in your hand.
In effect, the performer reaches into the air, and a Candle magically appears in his hand, whenever he wishes.
