Mismade “Thank You” Silk Handkerchiefs, Deluxe
The Perfect Comedy Closer for Your Show
A quality set of affordable Mismade Thank You Silks have long been off the market. Finally, they are back, and even better than ever.
The effect is simple. As you close your show with a a few simple words about how wonderful the audience was today, you place a 12 inch yellow silk handkerchief and a 12 inch black handkerchief in a small cloth bag. As you say the warm words, “Thank You for for being a wonderful audience” , you open the bag and produce an 18 inch yellow and black silk handkerchief that says “Thank You”. Well, actually it only sort of says “Thank You”. Because no matter how you hold the silk, the letters aren’t exactly as they should be. You see, some of the letters are backwards.
So, being the observant entertainer that you are, you reverse the silk handkerchief from left to right. Now, those letters that were backwards are OK, but some of the other letters are still backwards and a few of the other letters now appear to be upside down. So, as quick witted and alert as you are, you turn the silk handkerchief upside down. But, it’s still not right.
Finally, you place the mismade silk handkerchief back in the empty bag, wave you hand over it and remove the silk handkerchief again. Only this time when you open it up, it now says “Thank You” correctly. And oh ya, the small cloth bag is still empty. You WILL receive a wonderful round of applause from the audience. And they will be guaranteed to remember your wonderful and funny closing act.
The Mismade Thank You Silks come with two 18 inch “Thank You” silk handkerchiefs (one mismade and one correctly printed), two 12 inch silk handkerchief (one yellow and one black), a Mini Tote (Change) Bag and instructions.

Card Silk Handkerchief Set
A freely chosen card appears on a previously shown blank silk handkerchief
The Card Silk Handkerchief Set concept is basic and the props are bright and colorful. What a winning combination. The methods used are simple and the number of effects possible are truly limited by your own imagination. Some tricks require the use of only the printed card silk handkerchief. Other effects use both the blank and printed card silk handkerchiefs together.
Effect #1: A spectator freely selects a card, and returns it to the deck. The deck is shuffled and spread on the table face down. The spectator takes a folded silk handkerchief and rubs a card. When the card is turned over, it is NOT the card selected. The spectator tries again and once more fails to locate his card. The magician asks the spectator to open the silk handkerchief as added insurance. The spectator is surprised when he finds his card printed on the silk handkerchief.
Effect #2: The performer shows a silk handkerchief with the image of a blank card displayed on it. That handkerchief is placed into a bag (change bag). A spectator is asked to select a card from a deck, remember the card value/suit and place the card back into the deck. The spectator concentrates on his card. when he reaches into the change bag, the blank silk handkerchief has turned into an image of his selected card.
You receive two 9 inch silk handkerchief and instructions for these effects plus eight other tricks using the Card Silk Set. You supply your own change bag, and other apparatus.
