In the 1990s I saw Juan Mayoral lecture at the Desert Magic Seminar in Las Vegas. In his lecture he taught two things to do with an appearing cane.
Here’s the first:
It gives the old square to circle trick a third beat, which is needs.
An then here’s the other appearing cane trick:

Juan was really ahead of his time. Here’s what his act looked like over 30 years ago!
I am still a huge fan of Juan Mayoral!
