Hello everybody

I'am doing a bit of historical research about Buatier de Kolta. He is considered as being one of the first ones to perform silk magic.

Does anyone known if he is the inventor of the Twentieth Century Silk ?

With such a name , this trick probably came up in the XIX th century, which matches De Kolta's life time...but still it is not enough to make it a good proof.

Thanks in advance.

I believe it was created by the owner of the Martinka magic shop..Frank Durcot. I can't recall why that sticks in my head but maybe it will jog someone else's memory. I think it was in the late 1920's.
