With all those funky gadgets they test, you'd think by now they'd have found one that Suzi Perry could use to get rid of the tache. :wink:

On the TT in particular, and secrets in general, it's not what the thing is but what you do with it. As wonderful as vanishing a silk with rolled sleeves is, a lot of people learning how to do it aren't going to see what it has to do with pouring milk out of a bank note or divining its serial number.

As I mentioned in another thread a while ago, Fay Presto was once doing some table hopping and when she produced a red silk, once customer blurted out that he'd seen this on TV and knew she used a TT. Fay looked at him and agreed that it used to he done that was but now that everyone knows about it she didn't do it that way any more. Of course, she then carried on using the TT as usual and nobody sussed it at all!
