A classic comedy and utility prop which has stood the test of time... now available again and better than ever!

Perfect for practically any type of performance... stage, parlor, M.C., kid show, clown, comedian, strolling, bar and restaurant.

Made from a genuine, 12-ounce restaurant sugar dispenser. 5 ½ inches tall by 3 inches in diameter. Heavy-duty scalloped glass with a gleaming stainless steel top and hinged pour spout.

The performer displays the full dispenser, then seemingly pours nearly 2/3 of the sugar into a paper bag. The audience can clearly see that the quantity of sugar in the dispenser has diminished. A few magic words are spoken and when the bag is tilted, out pour real, solid sugar cubes... the granulated sugar has vanished!

This is only one of many, many possible uses for this great little gem, originally conceived by the late, great Sid Lorraine. Apparently pour the sugar into a paper cone, hat, bag, purse, a child's ear, etc. The sugar vanishes without a trace!

Or use Sugar Short with other popular props... dove pan, change bag, cake in hat, milk pitcher... the performance options are practically limitless.

This improved version is made to last with a one-piece, molded gimmick that will not split or crack... something which was a constant problem with earlier models.

May be performed completely surrounded. Nothing added or taken away. Brand new and in mint condition. Complete with detailed, printed instructions.

(This review is for Sugar Short by Steve Dick)
This is somewhat disappointing.

I've tried this with popcorn salt (very fine ground salt) as a substitute for real sugar as recommended in the instructions, also micro glass beads , and in both cases I can't get a smooth pour from this because when the dispenser is turned upright after pouring the "sugar" into the bag, the salt sticks unevenly to the sides of the gimmick instead of going down level at the bottom of the dispenser as it would be after pouring sugar from an ordinary sugar dispenser , so it telegraphs that there is something "tricky" going on with the interior of the dispenser. (you have to give the sugar dispenser a good shake or two to get the sugar to sift down so it looks normal in the bottom of the dispenser after the pour). On mine the gimmick looks like it was glued in slightly off-center so I'm thinking it might work better with a properly centered gimmick (?) . Seems like there might be quality control issues with this item. It would be fairly easy to make one , so I'm going to try making my own to be sure the gimmick is centered. But that's kind of a pain, right ? I already understood the working of this before I purchased it, but the reason I purchased it was to save me the time and hassle of making the prop.
