If you get the Walk-Around Silk to Egg Set, it has a matching egg you can use with Egg Bag. It can also be handed out! It looks and feels like a real egg. (No more shinny light plastic fake eggs that look and feel fake.)

The white ceramic ones from me should clean up with "No More Tears Baby Shampoo". Put a cap full of shampoo into a cup of water and use the liquid to sponge off the egg. (Autumn Morning Star uses "Magic Eraser".)
Don't soak the egg since local water can stain it. |

Thank you BOB. I will get back to you for some more eggs in the future.

I've seen Rice's Encyclopaedia as a recommended source for learning the moves (although I think I know them already) but it looks like Rice comes in several volumes. Can one still buy the volumes separately and, if so, in which volume will I find silk to egg? Secondly, do you know of a good source for silks and brown egg gimmicks in the UK? Thanks you so much in advance. David |

They also sell the CD version of all 4 volumes in PDF format. Silk to Egg routines are in Volume 3, Chapter 21. All silk to egg routines are not the same, Rice, Viking, Sterling, Abbott's, and several others all have versions of the Silk to Egg trick. You have to find the one you like over them all. Sorry, don't live or ever been to the U.K., but I would like to visit one day. I believe they are available in the U.K. if memory serves me right. Check around, you have so many magic shops in England, I am sure one of them should carry the trick or props only. Here is the most expensive Silk to Egg gimmick I have ever seen, and it from the U.K.: http://www.propdog.co.uk/brown-egg?search=egg Really no need to go that crazy over a gimmick. Here is the Viking Magic version, and they come in brown egg along with the handling of the trick: http://www.vikingmagic.com/Silk-To-Egg%2......name=egg There I believe I answered all your questions. |

Foxlute,
As always, our Walk-Around Silk to Egg is $30 plus shipping. It includes two 18" DoveLite Silks, matching stickers (for Sucker Silk to egg), Two eggs (one gimmicked and one ungimmicked matching egg), and instructions for the Walk-Around Silk to Egg routine. Eggs can be white or brown. (Most of the ones we ship to the UK and Europe are brown.) There is plenty of information and evaluations about the props from actual users here on The Magic Café. Here is one http://www.themagiccafe.com/forums/viewt......start=30 They are no longer available from dealers. Unfortunately we ran into problems with some dealers substituting inferior props into DoveLite prop sets. |

Well I finally was able to try this routine on real people at 3 different shows I worked...I LOVE IT!!! I've gotten the same reactions from each show...the mouths just DROP! They do not expect it...especially when your "showing" them...Again...I LOVE IT!

In the March 1978 issue of Genii (or MUM, I tore out the page) Topper Martyn wrote a short article on Fred Culpit's method of making a fake egg. It will work for any color egg. It is a "poor person's" version of the Viking egg. I used one that I made for years before buying the Viking egg.

I've recently taken delivery of Bob Sanders' "Silk to Egg" kit. It has everything one needs for this classic trick and the eggs (brown in my case) are absolute perfection. I am really looking forward to performing this effect. (There's a mere matter of hours and hours of practice to get through first but it will be worth it.)

Havent posted here for a while, but as busy as ever in the corporate market & Yes.. Silk to Egg is a main stay of all shows and is such a hit with all audiences, theres a small clip on my website at a show as part of a show reel etc...

I have a question for pure curiosity sake.. I play the effect later rather than sooner in my 45 min act, but was wondering with your own personal experiences..would playing it earlier in your show, 2nd or 3rd effect maybe? get a better reaction..reason Im asking is Pop- Haydn does a fabulous version very early & it works so well,like to hear your comments, I was thinking of using it after a music magic intro then some comerdy intro and straight into it....thanks in advance

I have always opened with the Sucker Silk to Egg or the Color-Changing Hank. This is not something that I would normally recommend, especially the Silk to Egg. In the Silk to Egg, the secret is supposedly tipped very early, and it seems lame and obvious, while the explanation goes on for a long time. It is easy to lose the audience at that point. If they decide that you aren't any good, they may lose interest and reject your act before you get to the payoff. It is essential to be able to hold the audience's attention and interest through the entire explanation with comedy and acting, and not every performer has that sort of ability. It is usually better to put sucker tricks in the second or third position in the show, so that the audience has already decided you were competent and worth watching. They are much more likely to follow you through the maze to the surprise. Every rule can be broken, though. I use it to open because it establishes my magical character and gets the audience to engage with me intellectually from the get-go. It is worth the drawbacks, I think. |

I must have close to 20 routines based upon Silk to Egg and 20th Century Silk. The right patter and colors can be made to fit any audience.

Some use a wand and move on a table top. See Carl Michaels.
