From the simplest change to the most elaborate, color transformations always captivate audiences, transcending age and language barriers.

Most can be easily seen on stage and readily understood by all. And here, I teach you a solid assortment of polished presentations for all types of shows.

First, I revisit Tarbell's popular invention, the Color-Changing Handkerchief, and put my kid-show-ready spin on it that still amuses the adults in the room.

Then, combining a method that shouldn't fool anyone with a compelling presentation, I create a strong closing coda that tugs just the right strings.

And, demonstrating the simple beauty of the color-change, I perform a well-choreographed, bare-hand transformation which stands on its own without words.

On the other end of the spectrum, I give you my preferred get-ready for a silly bit of business that lightens the mood to set up more impressive changes.

Then, I use three white silks to wipe away the colors from a funny, old promo photo, leaving one of my spectators with a cool souvenir.

And, the pirate from my previous lesson returns to help you brush-up on your seafaring knowledge with a refresher full of colorful ideas and language.

Again, I let music tell the story as an orchestra gets a bit out of hand due to my mishap-filled conducting, literally lifting the notes off the page.

Next, I combine the concepts of color theory with an improved method, creating a self-contained lesson nicely suited to an art class or sales seminar.

Then, a series of transformations combine into one large picture, ultimately setting up the surprise appearance of a cute, cuddly little creature.

And finally, a quick quaint opener reminds me of the changing seasons as the green leaves begin to take on their bright autumn hues.

As you watch this lesson (and explore the clever ideas within), I'm sure you'll see why audiences of all ages delight at an unexpected and colorful change.

Another piece of Harlan genius Report this review

I have all of the Tarbell lessons and they are all good. Some, inevitably, are better than others. This is one of the better ones. Dan has an amazing ability to take what was old material and make it current and meaningful. This is very clear in this lesson and I am again amazed at his creativity and ability to explain each piece clearly.
Well worth the price.

Dan Harlan takes lesson 43 to a whole other level.

Inside, I was quite pleased to find that he not only recreated these really old tricks and breathes new life into them.

He makes these silly tricks that I would have never otherwise performed and made them not only workable, but deceptive and fooling.

The beauty of a color changing silk in the hands of an artist is a sight to behold. Dan Harlan shows also a dramatic performance piece to epic music that is really quite wonderful.

I will definitely be referring to this lesson of Tarbell 43 again.

Understandably, not all chapters(DVD's)will be interesting (or informative)to all magicians, but THIS one is so full of diverse applications for all fields of Magic, I think it's a must for anyone interested in becoming a magician, or those interested in adding some fun and color to their show! Dan breathes NEW LIFE into these old chestnuts and makes them relevant in a far different world from where they were originally performed!

Tarbell 43: Color Changing Silks Report this review

Dan covers a multitude of presentations on the color changing silk effect. He covers each in detail with his usual in-depth teaching style. The Tarbell Clean Cut Color Changing Handkerchief (the one demoed above) was by far my favorite in the lesson, I love the Color Changing Silk effect and it fooled me! In another standout, Dan fully explains both Tarbell's Color Changing Handkerchief and Double Handkerchief Color Change and even brings you to the sewing machine and shows you exactly how to make the gimmick. This is a great lesson and if it seems to be the thing for you get it, or the choice is yours.
