What would be the best model "Vanishing Cane" to use for a short, short dancing cane routine (maybe not even - just a rising though hand sequence and "sticking" to hand - maybe just a quick floating and dancing sequence) and tun to "vanish" into a silk - with possibly a touch of glitter. What brand and/or make would be the best quality for that?

The only vanishing and Dancing cane I know of the Fantasio Vanishing and Dancing Cane. One of the online dealers is the only outfit that sells the gimmick and cane separately. As stock on Fantasio products is very low in supply and when they are gone, they will not be available any longer. Fantasio has stopped manufacturer do to all the inferior copies of his products.

Now if you invent a method to switch identical canes during your performance, then just look for matching dancing cane and vanishing cane.

Canes are not in demand currently, thus there is not much if anything to chose from.

The Best of any trick is the 1st on you buy and learn.

That exact question has been asked several times on the Café, so you might us the search engine and do some research as their are varying opinions on product.
