I bought the product in 2021. I don't know if the quality changed lately, but the streamer I
received cannot be presented to an audience.
The silk is so thin that after the change from
color to black you can still see the colors through the black.
I practiced in a normaly lighted
room, so I guess that under stage lights the problem would be worse.
I will still use it as
a normal streamer somewhere but I will not perform the effect.

The product is fine. However, it takes a lot of thought to figure out how to effectively use it in a
routine. Simply changing it from black to colors may be fine for young kids, but using it for teens
or adults can be a challenge. Happily, I found a humorous routine for those audiences, and it works
great!
TIP: fold a sticker over the end of the silk needed for the color change. It will be
much easier to find while performing. The sticker will be covered by the fingertips that grip that
end of the silk during the color transformation.

I use this as a climax to my dye tube routine. Using the dye tube, I change silks from yellow to
green and then to black. Then I tell the kids that I am changing to a large black silk back to
green. Somehow I over do the "spell" and the black silk streamer turns to multiple colors. This is
a beautiful effect. The silk looks great and the colors are fantastic. You can pull the black silk
through your hand to change the color or if you are quick with a flick of the wrist, you can whip
the black silk and have it change in an instanteous manner - very cool.

Excellent quality is 100% silk. It changes fast and is economical. If you are looking for a Color
Changing Streamer this is for you. Add it to your shopping cart.
Well made, great effect, easy to do, so many uses and reasonably priced. Can't go wrong with this
one.
A kid magician's dream: packs very small and plays very big. I like Tim's idea from Cedar Rapids.
For me, it has a home with my Magic Coloring book. Here's a tip: before the show, secretly give this
to a nice dressed lady that will be present, to wear, say, around her neck. During the routine, act
as if you're just borrowing her scarf from her. This will make the change that much more mystifying.
This is "her" scarf, not a prop of yours, they think. Act genuinely amazed at the change, and they
will be too. Well made, easy to do, nice price. Definitely ADD TO CART!
This visual transformation of a black streamer silk to multi colored is fantastic. I would really
appreciate your recommendations on other effects that also present such a colorfull "right in front
of your eyes" display.

That's exactly what I told the youngsters at the birthday party on saturday. I love the quickie
change right in front of your eyes effects and I would really appreciate any feedback from other
wizards who are aware of similar illusions.
