Proudlock's Sympathetic Silks by Edward Bagshawe
Now you, too, can present this award-winning silk routine in your show.
Here is a beautiful routine using two sets of three silk scarves that magically knot and unknot themselves "in sympathy" with each other … even from across the stage. Best of all, you can do this with your own silks, as they contain no hidden pockets, sewn-together pairs, or similar fekes.
Edward Proudlock's Sympathetic Silks are a joy to behold, no less to the magician than to the uninitiated beholder. That it was a feature of Proudlock's act for 15 years is a testament as to its beauty and strength. Anyone who includes Proudlock's version and working in his act or program can indeed regard himself as a professional of the highest caliber.
38 illustrations and Edward Bagshawe's step-by-step instructions make everything clear. Use silks or scarves. This should be a feature in your act.
