I remember seeing a magician pulling out a string with colorful strings from mouth. Can anyone give me any reference? Thanks.

I seem to recall that Shimada used to pull a string of small silks from the mouth of his mask, climaxing with a tiny parasol, as a part of his parasol act.

I can't seem to find a clip of it on youtube, but he did his act on several tv shows over the years.

Wiz Kid Ee-Gee-Fiki, author of "Tear-Able Magic" designed some pennant banners for producing from his torn and restored hats. They were made from plastic table cloth material from the Dollar Store, usually from colorful birthday party table cloths that had a lot of balloons and things on them. One day I saw him playing around with them and he worked out a way of folding the long (8 foot) banner so it could be loaded in his mouth and it would unravel and pull out as a string of pennants that SORT OF looked like silks as they dropped open. He never did anything with the idea at the time, but I mentally filed the idea away in the "future magic projects" part of my brain.

Al Delage did it also with the Douglas 20th century silk but with just one silk.

How many and how large?

Do you remember when, where or who?

Were they like clothes on a clothesline or dangling from one corner?

Did they clearly appear to be coming from the mouth?
