Hy guys I'm looking for a cloth, silk or hanky with a zombie feature built in, but I do not think it's haunted hanky, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd60Ip_KFnc in that video it shows what kind of hanky I need, I know only of haunted hanky but I think it has different methodology, I wanna float something invisible out of a spectator's hand and the hank tha scott uses for his routine seems best suited for that, what would such a hank be called?

I've checked bill abbots site, and that's the silk I need but I'm not interested in the routine, so for 200 dollars I'm sure there are cheaper alternatives out there. otherwise I should make em myself

I suggest you make it yourself. Sometimes that is the only way we find out WHY the prices at dealers of creators sites are as they are.

Barring that, if you want a quality product, sticking with reputable suppliers is essential. And, many years in y experience shows that EVERY trick or routine that comes in needs to be worked and refined to meet the particular magician's specifications, everything from rebinding gimmicks, sewing on extra "fringe" and sanding or filing rough spots -- to completely rebuilding a new and different sized piece based on the purchased original.

As a professional props maker from theatre and them parks I have to agree with chmara. It take a lot of development to invent and make most props. And did I mention a very broad skill set? If you don't have the time, skills, tools, and everything else it takes to realize a vision, don't !@#$% about the price.

What is being used in the video is called a "double handkerchief". Any seamstress can make one. There is no secret to making the hank. No pockets. No extra material. The gimmick is the secret, and from the video you should know how it is constructed.
