The history as I know it.
Around the time of Ade Duval, there was a trick called the Comedy Repeat Vanishing Handkerchief. Rice Silk King Studios sold it for years. I now note is is not listed on their web site, but they offered 2 version. One the silk vanished to the inside breast pocket and the the other vanished to the outside side pocket of jacket. I am sure this is where Ade Duval came across this trick, it comes with a constant patter during the numerous vanishes. I like the inside breast pocket version, but the side pocket version was off the market by the time I became interested in magic. This alternate version interested me, but contacting Harold Rice came up with nothing. I later found a gimmick that I believe was used for this 2nd version. The problem with this version is it was for a 12" silk. And when the performer had to remove the silk from the outside pocket, it needed assistance with the other hand to hold the pocket (?), if you get the idea. Many years later, Magic Inc. offered a version of this effect, calling it Ade Duval's Vanishing and Reappearing Silk. I at once ordered it, and again, it was made for a 12" silk. This was for the latter version using the outside side jacket pocket. The gimmick solved the problem of having of having to assist the removal of the silk with the other hand. The gimmick was only made from plastic and wood. More recently (but time has passed), Magic Inc. again made this trick available, only this time adding a the assistant device to a standard Dye Tube like the Rice Simplex Dye Tube. Well, this does not work as well as the original plastic vanisher, and again it only accepts a 12" silk. Magic Inc. no longer sells either version of this trick. The offer David Charvet was gracious enough to write the show business book biography of Ade Duval, and it is one of my favorite books to date. The book was published without this trick being published within the covers, so for all the owners of this book, for a limited time. To make your book complete, I will send those that have purchased the book a copy of the Ade Duval Vanishing and Reappearing Silk trick instructions. All you have to do is PM your email address and the number of your copy of the book, then insert it in your book after printing. Why, because I respect Ade Duval and his work so much. Posted: May 12, 2012 2:04pm The offer is now receded, thanks to all that have added a piece of wonderful magic that was not included in this book. As with all my offers your email addresses have not been saved for any reason. |
