If you do magic of any kind, you will sooner or later need to purchase several silks for your effects. Don’t use handkerchiefs as a replacement for silks. They will not work. Handkerchiefs will not fit into a Thumb Tip and they do not work well with other magic routines. Magicians use silks for a reason. Silks are easy to slide around and compress into a very small size. I’ve use handkerchiefs as a replacement for silks before and I know. Don’t use handkerchiefs as a replacement for silks. Buy the silks you need, they are not that expensive.

Whenever you make an order with Penguin Magic, throw in a color silk of your choice because they are inexpensive and you will eventually use them. If you don’t have any silks you will be unable to perform some magic routines. Keep track of the colors that you buy and over time you will have a good collection of various colors to use in your magic.

Penguin Magic’s silks come in a variety of colors: Hot Pink, Orange, Purple, Lime Green, White, Aqua, Gold, Black, Blue, Green, Yellow, and Red. The choices of colors are a personal choice. The two most common sizes of silks used in magic are 9” and 18”. Penguin Magic sells both sizes. The 9” silks are used in Thumb Tips, for coin magic, card magic, etc. You will use the 18” for silk magic routines and other various magic routines. Buy both sizes of silks because you will eventually need both sizes and they are inexpensive.

One reviewer mentioned that they were a bit too thin. Yes, that is true but all magic silks are thin. Magic silks are supposed to be thin. This allows them to compress into a small size in order to fit into your Thumb Tip.

Penguin Magic sells the silks you will need in a variety of colors and in the two most common sizes (9” and 18”). Buy some silks now. I would also suggest that you purchase several Vernet Classic Thumb Tips to use with your silks. Both are inexpensive and as always, you get Penguin Magic’s free shipping.

I'll keep it short and sweet. I almost never complain about any magic things I buy but I really am disappointed with this silk. It's just way too transparent. I expected a higher opacity. If there is any light behind you AT ALL or a bright light shining on it (so, in other words, any light at all) you can pretty much see straight through it. Not really what one would hope for in a silk. The worst thing is that I bought 2 of these bad boys.

It is a great silk! I love the price and I love the silk. I use it with my Silk to Egg routine & am very happy with it!

This is not bad quality for the money. Every magician should own a collection of silks. You can perform many different miracles with a prop that pack small and plays big.

What a bargain! This is a good quality silk and is perfect for any number of routines- sly silks, vanishing and appearing birds or candles, coin through silk etc. Cannot recommend these silks enough!

The silk is a needed tool for the magician. I don't ever do a show without a silk in it. Why spend time trying to cut and sew your own silks when these are so cheap and great?

Great construction, these silks last forever and a day!

Hello guys! I have ordered silks for my thumbtip and this is a good one! It fits perfectly and the color one the silk is really nice! So if you want to do "thumb up" with your tumbtip then add to cart ;)

As a magician you need to have a couple of silks. This 18" silk is a great accessory for all types of tricks. It takes your show to the next level by adding yet some "mystery" to it.
