Okay...So here's the scoop: I've got a couple of ideas for tricks involving silks. They might even be marketable. BUT...I need to have someone/someplace that can custom-make silks. I need custom colors, sizes, prints and shapes.

Anyone here know where I might go for something like that?

Hi Bendy:

Richard Hughes does this. His work is excellent and he is a member here at the Café.

Ron

I will second Ron's recommendation.

Regan

Also talk to Tim Sonefelt from http://www.wonderimagery.com/

I'd be happy to a talk with you in confidence.

Richard

Thanks, Richard. I'll get my thoughts organized and send you an e-mail in the near future. I went to your site and took a look at your list of clients. I have to say that I'm impressed.
Keep in mind that I am not a full-time magician, and I'm not a retailer. I'm just a regular guy, and I've got a budget to adhere to. I may not be able to afford custom work right now, but I'd like to look into the possibilities, and at least have more information about it than I have now.

This past year, Richard made a custom sunburst silk for me, and the price was very reasonable. The silk, needless to say, is fantastic.

I'd be happy to provide you with a quote, too. Talk to Richard, though, he does great work!! Our processes are totally different, and he can give you a totally different look than we can at http://www.WonderImagery.com There are a few photos of custom work on our site, though.

Best,
Tim Sonefelt

Likewise with your stuff, Tim.

Richard
