Funny story. Just happened last night. I was doing a library show talking about halloween with 3 silks to represent a safe halloween. 1 for candy, 1 for parents (to check out candy, chaperone etc) and 1 for halloween. They all went into my PVC "crystal tube" and I blew them out all tied together. The trouble is there was an airconditioner vent right above made out of a ferrous metal.
"CLANG" Those silks / knots just stuck there. It was pretty funny and I treated the situation very lighthearted. Anyway - watch out for those metal vents when blowing silks |

Was it an intake vent that sucked the silks to it? Ferrous metal - magnetic? Please explain.........

Magnets love Ferrous (Iron) metal. The the tiny NEO's went right to it when I blew the out of the tube. Hindsight says I should have just left them there. I've not used rubberbands cause of the chance of them breaking. I've just learned to be careful to look up before blowing them out.

Just have extra rubber bands on the tube. You need two so use three. I have never lost a band to breaking, just losing them in general.

I've never had a problem either. I use two on each end. If something happens, I load the silk from the other end of the tube. Didn't even know they had a magnet version.

Mike,
Lucy got upset with me just because she thought doing Zombie over the water on a windy pier would expose the trick. It looked to me like she could fly! OK, so we moved the show to another location. Silk moves! Bob Sanders Magic By Sander PS --- Wait util you have a magnetic coin stick to a metal ruler! (My new FLAT wand) |
