Big Chemist’s Retort Built for Movie

Four feet in diameter and more than five feet high, what is believed to be the largest chemist’s retort ever made was fashioned from a new plastic material for use in a current motion-picture scene. In the film, a magician “creates” a full-grown woman inside of what appears to be an empty glass retort. The scene is shown above.
