Rare Green Painted Foo Can – Abbott’s Magic

Rare Green Painted Foo Can – Abbott’s Magic (Vintage)

This is a rare green-painted Foo Can produced by the legendary Abbott Magic Novelty Company. A classic of magic, the Foo Can allows the magician to pour water (or any liquid) into the can, then turn it completely upside down — yet nothing spills out! At the magician’s command, the liquid pours freely again, amazing audiences with its impossible control.

The Foo Can has been a staple in magic for decades, prized for its simplicity, reliability, and visual impact. This particular can is a beautiful collector’s piece — a genuine Abbott’s Magic item with historical significance, dating back to the company’s golden years.
