Place 3 different coloured silks into a Tube.
The audience can see them clearly through the net.
Toss up the Tube and remove the silks, and they have transformed into a Parasol
Or place a Parasol into an empty Net tube and state you are going to transpose them to another empty tube some distance away.
Things start going wrong.
Part of the Parasol goes across, then ... Or perform a "Mismade Parasol" effect, - silks transform to a Mismade Parasol, then a perfect one ...
You'll get all the routines you can use, and ideas for a few more of your own creation when you read the instructions, and play with the props.

Review
the props are well made for the price though it should be stated that the silks are made of the same material as the parasols which makes them much harder wareing.
essentialy the two net tubes do all the work and are quite deseptive when properly handled and the instructions give clear instructions on the loading and handling, though it assumes you have at least a passing knowlegde of handeling change aparatus thats why i gave it a 2 rateing.
the parasols are well built and very sturdy for there size, this product should last a long time and take a fair amount of abuse.
one of the few routines included suggests useing a break away wand for some laughs and to fit in with the missmade parasol routine, it would have been nice if this had been included as you will need a wand for loading the silks to get then evenly placed
Overall 10 / 10
what you see in the picture is what you get, with the exception of the wand shown mid picture.
you get enough stuff to do a missmade routine, a silks to parrasol, parasol to missmade change, and several other variations, the tubes can be used for silks / balls across routines and sundery changes and transpos as your heart and head can dream up.
expensive....absolutely, value for money.....definately.
build quality excelent.
scope for invention... loads.
