Handkerchiefs have been a part of the magician's arsenal at least since the 1500s but it wasn't until the mid-1800s that handkerchiefs made of silk made their appearance as magical apparatus. The first recorded use of silk handkerchiefs in the literature of magic was by none other than Robert-Houdin for a vanishing handkerchief routine (which also coincided with his invention of the first pull.) The first full routine using silks was performed by de Kolta and written up in Professor Hoffman's Later Magic in 1903. At that point, tricks and routines using silks became a very common part of conjurors' acts.

On this DVD, you'll see a variety of clever and magical ways to use silk handkerchiefs. Daryl leads off with a handkerchief that has an uncanny ability to not only trap ghosts but also find selected playing cards. Then, Fielding West performs his very funny version of the classic Color Changing Silk while Henry Evans produces a real silk handkerchief from a photograph. Michael Ammar performs and teaches his signature effect of silver dollars passing through a sheer scarf while Dai Vernon demonstrates a great utility false knot. Then, Paul Wilson makes a solid metal ring instantly and visibly jump onto a silk handkerchief while Dan Harlan shows off a beautiful silk production interlude. Finally, Petrick and Mia cause a knot to magically jump from one sheer silk to another.

Silk magic is enchanting, beautiful and, as proven by the performers on this DVD, extremely versatile. Learn any of these effects and you'll have a classic piece of magic in your repertoire that will amaze and delight any audience.

This is a solid addition to the WGM series. If you are interested in adding some silk magic to your act, you will probably find something good here to start with. These run the full spectrum, from manipulation to really easy. Henry Evans' "3D Camera" will require nothing more from you than a silk and one other prop you probably already have, and is practically self-working. Ammar's "Coins Through Silk" is the most beautiful thing on here and will probably require the most work, but if you have basic coin magic knowledge you can do this in no time (just might have a problem finding that type silk he uses). Dan Harlan's "Silken Dream" is a spectacular opener when it works right and really is stunning to see.

Really, everything here is pretty good. There are some I probably will never use, but for the price I definitely feel I got my money's worth.
