Hello! I am looking for a large production silk that has a library or reading theme. Does anyone have any suggestions or resources? Thanks in advance!

Also search for "author themed silk scarf" , which will turn up silk scarves with quotations from certain authors (for example: Lewis Carroll "Alice In Wonderland")printed on the silk scarf. They may not be thin enough to use as a production scarf (?) ... depends on the method or apparatus you are using , if the load area is large enough to take a thicker silk material ? (given that most magic apparatus made for silk productions assumes you are using very thin, compressible silk , and most silk scarves intended to be worn as fashion accessories tend to be made from thicker silk) There is the option to having designs custom-printed on silk by Wonder Imagery (Tim Sonefelt). https://www.wonderimagery.com/collections/custom-silks |

Here are some Reading / Library silk magic effects...
Barry Mitchell has a retired effect, "Readers are Winners", which you might be able to track down on the used magic market. https://barrymitchellproducts.com/produc......68401415 Tim Sonefelt (Wonder Imagery) sells a 12 foot "Reading" Banner. https://www.wonderimagery.com/products/reading-banner Tim also sells a silk trick called "Library Fun". https://www.wonderimagery.com/products/library_fun And Tim sells another silk trick called "Boomerang Bookworm." https://www.wonderimagery.com/products/boomerangbookworm Tommy James sells a "Reading Color Changing Streamer." https://tommy-james-magic-products.mysho......streamer - Donald

I have used a color changing streamer to illustrate creative thinking and that could apply to reading.
The waving black scarf symbolizes "simple meaning or words in a text book," with it changing to vibrant colors when reading a novel and becoming one with the author and characters.
