Equipment List
Step 1
Roll up one piece of paper into a tube and tape it into place to secure its shape.
Step 2
Roll a second piece of paper into a tube. Make one end the same size as the other tube and the opposite end slightly smaller.
Step 3
Insert the second tube into the first tube. Leave a small gap on one side within the interior of the first tube.
Step 4
Fold and insert the fabric into the gap between the two tubes on one end so it is hidden from the audience’s view.
Step 5
Show your audience the seemingly empty tube with the open ends facing them.
Step 6
As you hold the tube, pull the fabric out slowly and dramatically, showing the audience your magical trick!

What is the secret behind this trick?
The secret is the small gap between the two paper tubes. This hidden compartment conceals the fabric until you are ready to reveal it.
Can I use something other than fabric for this trick?
Yes, you can use any small and lightweight object that fits into the gap between the two tubes, such as a ribbon or a piece of paper.
How can I make the trick more surprising?
You can add a magic word or phrase that you say just before you reveal the fabric to make the performance more engaging.
How do I prevent the audience from seeing the smaller tube inside?
Practice holding the tube so the ends are facing the audience, and avoid turning the sides of the tubes toward the viewers. This way, they won’t see the smaller tube inside.
