During around the middle of my act, I am holding 2 silks in my hand, one orange and one white. I want to occupy maybe 30-60 seconds on doing something neat with these silks, any ideas welcome.

Thanks,

Use Slydini's double knot. (Tie a knot in the two together that turns out to be a separate knot in the center of each.)

Hi Evan:

I have a couple questions.

1. How big are the two silks?
2. What will you be doing with them after the 30 to 60 seconds?

2-26" silks, and a silk fountain is going to be produced from them.

How big is the silk fountain?

Sometimes 2 silks to produce it from just is not going to cut it.

Actually 2 silks are going to be in my hand, plus a silk in the case with the ball, just to give me a reason to walk to my case. The ball is no larger than a grape fruit.

How about a silk tie type of effect where you show the silks separately, throw them into the air and when you catch them they are tied together?

Crystal silk tube

I am trying to stay away from shiny props actually....

LOL Use the tie that is used in the tube but without the tube, silly.

Rice encyclopedea of silk magic is a great source.
