DEMON stamped omelette pan

Although called an omelette pan, magicians usually used this apparatus to bake a cake. The performer breaks an egg into a glass and beats it up with a little milk. The mixture is then poured onto the silver plate, stirred and poured into a borrowed hat. The hat might be held over a candle flame to cook the cake. The performer then removes a genuine cake from the hat which is returned to its owner undamaged. The cake may be enjoyed by the audience. The DEMON stamp tells us that the omelette pan was supplied by Davenports.
