Silk

Does anyone have a preference on large silk vanishes and/or productions? I need to get one and I was wondering which ones were the most effective or preferred. Thanks!

spirit by some french guy is a vanish of a large silk were the audience can hold your wrist wilst you vanish the last bit of the silk.
some clothing requirements but a good vanish for a large silk that resets itself.

If you're using the 'standard' vanish/appearance which utilises a TT, then 9" is about as far as you can go.

General rule of thumb is to choose a nice contrasty silk to your surroundings or clothing.

For cane/wand/candle productions, a much larger silk is good.

Rule of thumb...TT boom-boom

At the moment I am consrtucting a large silk vanisher, the plans are in Mark Wilsons complete course.
He also gives methods on how to produce a large silk.
