I'm currently looking at some silk magic for a new act. Rather then making an item from silk, I'm looking at doing a reverse - so an item to silk. Anyone know of any swish tricks?...
your question is intriguing, but I could use some more information.
What item are you considering?
Are you proficient with slight of hand?
In what setting will you be presenting this effect?
Are you looking for a gimmick?
At it's foundation, you are vanishing a silk and producing something else. There are a number of production apparatus available to accomplish this. Or you could go old school with a tt and a palm. An instant production cylinder may fit your needs. I would visit your local magic shop and see if anything catches your eye.
