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.
