I found three silks today and can’t remember what trick they belong to although I’m thinking that they have something to do with a jumping knot type routine. One is a plain red silk, one is a white silk with a hole cut out of it and the other is a white silk with a red circle on it. Any ideas?

I've seen a trick that ended like that, but it was in the 1980's. My guess is either Pavel or Magic Hands in Germany, but I have nothing to back that guess up.

I cannot find its creation, but I swear I purchased it from Daryl. A knot is tied and pulled off the white silk. The knot is then vanished. The white silk is shown to have a hole in it and the red silk is then show to have a white spot in the middle of it.

I think that is Daryl's "Knockout Knot" trick. He sold it at lectures in the late 1980's until he replaced it with the "Jumping Knot of Pakistan". It was based on a Pavel idea but was his own creation. However, in Daryl's routine there wasn't a colored circle on the one silk. Rather when the knot on the other colored silk was untied, it was a strip of color in one corner.

Found an ad for Daryl's Knockout Knot:

jekyllandhyde, you could do something like this with the set you have:

Take white silk w/hole (do not open to show hole, just keep it diagonal) and tie a f**s* knot in it. Say you are going to vanish the knot and do so. Then open silk and show hole. Say, you can fix it. Place it in a m***** glass. Show red silk and tie a f**s* knot in it. Vanish the knot making a toss towards the glass. Say the red silk is a little smaller now but notice there is no hole. Dump the white silk out of glass. Show that its hole is now "mended" with the red circle.

It was based on Pavel's jumping knot and knots off silk.

This is definitely the effect I was thinking of. Thanks for the information and correction!
