Hi,
I want to produce a large 3 ft x 5 ft flag. Will have a 12 ft streamer just prior to that, and looking for a suggestion or two? Any recommendations for best method to steal the flag and ditch the streamer? Thanks for your help! |

Again, you need to get the Marconik book published by Klingsor. It has a good method for doing just this effect.
Think...how a blendo works. Richard

Richards suggestion of a blendo of sorts is my first choice too.
There was an old paper trick called "Fresh Fish Today". I've never tried it, but applying that technique might work. It would be more restricted by the flag than the streamer. There is another factor that counts. Although you told us that the streamer is 12' long, we don't know the width. If the streamer is this _____ wide it takes the place of this ____ many 12" silks. 4" - Four 8" - Eight 12" - Twelve A 36" silk is nine 12" silks. There are dye tubes from Rice that will accommodate these requirements. Contact "Rice" here on The Café. Her medium size is as large as I can conceal with just my hands. It will hold eight 12" silks. It would not hold the 3x5 flag. Her largest size might work but you would need to roll it inside a magazine or something stiff. Scheme! It can be done. Bob Sanders Magic By Sander |

If you want to use props, try Crystal Silk Cyclinder by Mak-Magic or Pandora Casket by Abbotts Magic.
If you really want a flash effect, use the bag to blendo idea. This is a satin bag, you place the streamer in, then spread your hands and the bang turns into your flag. Of course this is the most expensive to make. Finally, use the utility dye tube from Rice Silk King Studio, Comes with the Al Baker method to transpo the streamer to Flag. Cheapest and one of the best methods to do the effect you are asking about. |

Check out Rice's Encyclopedia of Silk Magic Volume 3, Blendo Effects and adapt. There are several ribbons/streamers to blendo methods shown. The size of the streamers might need to be changed.
