Ja, though stomach acid would not actually touch glass, there
could be some standard magic involved, such as having some
premade pieces of glass whose edges have been dulled with
a torch, replacing the real glass shards thru prestidigitation. Or
some "glass" made of salt or other soluble crystal, again
switcherooed when the audience is distracted. Arthur Clarke
has aptly stated, any sufficiently advanced technology is
indistinguishable from magic. {8-] spike
