Bramah Bowls

IN
CERAMIC JUST LIKE THE LOTAPOT
The Bramah Bowls are exact copies of the
traditional brass Brahmah Bowls that a good friend
lent to me and suggested that I had made in
Ceramic. I must thank Brian Gray my friend from
London who urged me to get them made.
The Bramah Bowls
offer a very similar effect to the classic Rice
Bowls but a circular disc of
celluloid is not required and both bowls can be
shown to be empty and there is no chance of a
tell-tale reflection from the celluloid disc as in
the Rice Bowl set up. Once again rice or something
similar is put in one bowl and the two bowls
placed together and the rice has doubled. The rice
is poured into a container and the bowls are
placed face to face yet again and water
miraculously appears and is poured from bowl to
bowl. One of these bowls is gimmicked just like a lotapot with a secret reservoir of water and the
other gimmicked so that it has a much smaller
interior than the other. When placed together as
one bowl is smaller inside than the other the rice
appears to have doubled and then when all the rice
is removed and the secret reservoir is allowed to
open the performer can pour water or any other
liquid from bowl to bowl. The Rice Bowls and the
Brahmah Bowls have always been great items but as
the Brahmah Bowls are now made by a top potter in
ceramic material or clay they are absolutely out
of this world. Each bowl is about three and a
quarter inches high and they measure roughly four
inches in diameter.
Quite frankly they are works of art to be
treasured and I am very proud to be able to offer
them to the magical fraternity. In addition to
thanking Brian Gray for coming up with the idea I
must also thank someone I have known for 20 years
or more as well, for getting them made for me and
this kind person is my very close friend Martin
Duffy. Thank you both of you for your kind help.
Greatly appreciated.
