Wand for vanishing a silk from a paper cone

The magician fashions a cone out of a piece of paper, using the wand to smooth out any creases from the inside. A silk handkerchief is then placed over the cone and pushed inside with the wand. When the paper cone is unrolled, the handkerchief has vanished. Manufacturer unknown, but from its appearance it is probably of German manufacture.
