Have you ever seen the magic trick which the magician magically produce a handkerchief inside a transparent decanter? By using the same principle, we can do amazing magic tricks, too. We start off by using different objects, like a picture instead of a handkerchief. You can use whatever things to do the trick, but the object would decide what you can do with it. You would also need a proper hiding place for it, too. Like a picture, it can be rolled up and hide in the edge of a photo frame.
The pulling of the thread can also be done with indirect forces instead of a simple pull. By rotating the frame, the thread would wind up and tension is built up to pull out the photo with high speed. The frame could be rotated horizontally or it can be mounted on a backing and a turntable to be rotated vertically.
And then experiments should be carried out to test various hiding and pulling method. Find a place to hide the photo so that it is invisible while standing by and pulling out. Numerous trials would be needed to ensure the successful movement of the photo or picture every time the turning is executed.
There are many different ways to pull the thread. You could spin the frame, or you could pull the thread with counterweight. One possible way is to fasten the other end of the thread to a fixture on stage. Then the magician can walk forward or away from the fixture with the frame holding in his hands. The thread will be pulled and the picture appears.
Think about what container to use. Choose one that suits the whole theme of the magic act. You could cause a rose to appear in a vase magically but fixing a vase on a turnable table and turn it quickly. The rose could be hidden in a secret pocket in the table.
The same principle has been applied to non-apparatus magic. The hands are substituted for the decanter. The space behind the vest takes the place of the pocket in the table. The thread still remains. Secured to two corners of a large flag, the thread extends across the top. The flag is folded and tucked beneath the vest, leaving the thread extending across the body. In a flash the flag is produced merely by hooking the thumbs under the thread and extending the arms forward and apart. Properly done, the flag seems to appear suddenly between the two hands. This may be used for a flash production of almost anything concealed beneath the vest, the coat or within a pocket.
With one end of the thread attached to a firm foundation, just hooking one thumb beneath it and pushing forward suddenly will make it possible to produce a silk, a flower, or some small device with which you work. - 31406
