Sympathetic Silks

Hardly any effect has been performed as often on the international stages of the world as this one. Accordingly, many treatises can be found in the (English-language) literature, but none as comprehensive and detailed as the present one.

Lewis Ganson's Teach In series is world renowned for its precision of depiction and description.

The routine described here from this world-renowned classic has the advantage of being easy to perform, yet leaving an unforgettable effect on viewers.

The effect in a nutshell: whatever happens to one set of cloths magically happens to a second set of cloths. You place three towels individually on a table (or chair), tie the other three towels and place them on another table. And as if by a miracle, the individual towels are knotted, but the knotted ones at a time.

And so it goes on until your viewers think they've figured it out, but nothing has (yet) happened.

A real hit on stage and at parties that does not require a lot of luggage and cumbersome props. Many well-known artists from Houdini to Horace Goldin to Paul Potassy had this applause effect in their programs.
