I bought a Walsh vanishing cane 25 years ago from a "Novelty" store going out of business. (I could have bought their last two, but not enough cash in my pocket) I use it every show. 25 years and still as good as when I bought it. (The white end cap cracked recently.I fixed it with contact cement, but now have use another cap rubber) But , I have seen a lot of vanishing canes over the years but nothing that has the look , feel or action of the Walsh. I'm sure it will out live me. But is there a good , solid , equal out there at any price , if by chance this one ever "vanished? I haven't liked anything that I've ever seen in most magic shops that have ever been in this area.

I agree with you about the outstanding quality in the Walsh canes. I have used a Walsh appearing cane for over 30 years and it's still as crisp as the first day I bought it.

Harakan is the closet equivelant. I actually like their vanishing cane better than Walsh. But Walsh is still the tops in Appearing canes.

I believe I have a walsh vanishing, and I know I have the cap (looks like Ivory) but its the old bakelite plastic. Mine are new from my old shop.

Yes Ian , they are ivory. Do you have one available?

It will take some time to locate. I do not know what to charge, either.
I think I have it in my collectible showcase.
PM me with an offer.

Not a new one..

Speaking of canes,
I just bought Fantasio´s Triple Color Changing Cane(Haveńt recieved it yet) and noticed that their selling also its Cap. So I got nerveous about maybe its not with the cane. Do I need to buy it or its included with the product? Are they just selling spares?

I know its not in topic, but I didńt want to make a new one, so I thought maybe You can help me.

Best wishes,

Many dealers refuse to give manufacturer information, so double check and only get the Empire brand.

I recently bought a Mahka Tendo Appearing Cane and I am very impressed with it so far.

I was told that they are Harakan canes that Mahka painted. Is this true?

I've receive my Mahka Tendo Cane like 3 days ago, and I agree, they are impressive canes! I love it!
