At dealers' I have noticed a lot of "Non Diamond Cut" silks being offered as "Diamond Cut" silks. It is easy to spot a silk that does not have all four equal sides.
Here is the problem for a magician. When held by one corner and having the opposite one at the bottom, the other two corners should match and be at the center between the top and bottom corners. Audiences can tell when they don't. It will no longer pass as a square silk. Bob Sanders Magic By Sander |

I use a diamond cut silk from Bob Sanders to vanish in a cane for 20th century silks. It works really nice. Owln

For canes and candles diamond cuts can't be beaten.

Diamond Cuts are also great for Abbot's Mutilated Parasol replacements.
They are also perfect for Creative Magic's Invisible Paint can. ~Nanci |

Anyone here remember back over 40 years ago when diamond cut silks were sold in black with vanishing and appearing canes? Did your car have airconditioning back then?

I am frequently asked about the diagonal measurements of diamond cut silks.
Here they are: This should help. Measured diagonally 24" Diamond Cut Silk is about 51" tip to tip but looks like a 36" square 18" Diamond Cut Silk is about 38" tip to tip but looks like a 24" square 12" Diamond Cut Silk is about 26" tip to tip but looks like an 18" square 9" Diamond Cut Silk is about 18" tip to tip but looks like a 12" square Silks are measured by their sewn hemmed edges, not diagonally. (All four sides should measure the same.) |
