VINTAGE ACROBATIC SILKS..flashy instantaneous magical transposition,. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS First Class. Back  in the "stone age" from 1968 to 1974, my wife and I presented school assemblies all over the United States for one of the largest assembly agency's in the country, based out of Hollywood California.  During that period we presented well over 3000 shows and the Acrobatic silks was our first talking trick after a silent flash opening.  It always set the mood for the rest of the show.  It never failed to get a great response.  It was one of our stand-by's and when we transitioned into the full evening show business it was part of the show.  We used the effect on and off for the next 40 plus years.  From day one we always carried a "worker and a spare" with all our "go to" tricks.   This one was one of our spares!  It shows slight use, more from just being stored than actual performance wear.
Acrobatic Silks is a great trick for themed shows, for Christmas use red and green silks, for Halloween use orange and black, etc.   One of the most versatile props ever invented, in my opinion.  No gimmicks, no threads, no wires, no springs and no moving parts.  Just the 14 inch pole and three silks.  Quickly, the effect goes like this: You show a pole with three silks hanging down, two of a like color and a contrasting one at one end.  You state that the silk can jump to the opposite end.  Place the pole and silks behind your back and when you bring it back the silk is indeed at the other end.  You do it again and the silk jumps to the opposite end again.  The kids start yelling as they think you are just turning it around behind your back.  You can milk this as long as you can stand them yelling...then to their amazement, it jumps to the middle visibly in full view! Great visual magic that can be seen in the largest venue.  Packs small, plays BIG.
Pole and three silks, no instructions, use your own poking device, we always favored a blunt end sucker stick. I see on YouTube there is  a very nice tutorial.
