If you go to 2:00 of Rick Thomas' Dove Act on youtube, He does a cool silk penetration with two differently colored silks. Does anyone know where I can purchase this or anything about the effect?
I would Really appreciate help on this one. |

This uses a mechanical device to make the trick work. It is called a r**l. Read R**l Magic by Albenice, or the Penetration chapter of the Silk encyclopedia.

That's' the same as silk thru microphone stand etc., etc. He uses a r**l. He uses the same device a few moments earlier when he does unknotting silk, then produces a dove next to the silk.
The assistant is holding the white silk taught (as if it were a microphone stand or pole). Good ones start at around $20-$30, cheap ones (slow and noisy) are as low as $2.

I have some original Kirkendall reels that I have rebuilt. I might be selling some them as I got a little carried away with getting them.
Watch some of the cheaper ones as they chatter like a squirrel when used. Richard
