Hi everyone, this is my first time posting in this forum =). Does anyone know what is the name of the trick that makes the silk fly off the stage (0.41 to 0.43 of the video)? And is the trick commercialized? I think it should be as quite a number of Taiwanese magicians use this effect. I've been searching for it for quite some time and I have difficulty finding it because using keywords like floating or flying silk generate tons of products. Here is the link to the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-6TamwPQLM&feature=related
Thanks! |

Welcome to the café!
I know some efects with that kind of silks but is nothing like I have! The best efect silk fly from the stage is from Sean Bogunia!I have the best system to do that with small silks or bigger! http://www.seanbogunia.com Paulo Cabrita |

Thanks! But I do not need such a complicated gimmick, I just want the silk to fly off to the side of the stage. Is there other products or is this the only one?

Hi Sleepy:
You're looking for a reel. Put "reel" in the quicksearch box above and see what comes up. You'll need a good heavy-duty one like a Kirkendall to do this - make sure the one you get is big enough to do the job. Jim |

Seems like I saw a demo on youtube where the guy had a silk fly around outside umbrellas at a Café.
It looked cool as heck. Sorry I don't have the link. YOu might search under flying silk. It was a motorized r**l.

Crap, looks like this effect requires another helper. Shall try to implement one that can be accomplished alone. Yeah I must agree that somehow flying silk looks very cool!

John Kennedy Magic CLICK HERE has 2 smaller similar items to make a silk fly around through the air. There are 2 different mechanisms offered and you can watch the demo's to determine you needs.
Basically, no the effect is not available, only the method, the effects you see on YouTube are custom designed by the performer, depending on the performers needs. Just where do you think the silk goes to off stage? Most if not all use an assistant off stage, unless you want the silk to come back to you. Anything else would require the Shawn Bogunia version which is a programmable computerized device, which he says can be used by a single performer. |

I would agree with Paulo.
I had Sean Bogunia make me a remote, high powered reel to do this exact effect. The unit is small, portable and needs no help. The price was not expensive and the effect is great. http://www.seanbogunia.com/ shawn |

This is the hundredth time or so that someone seen this on YouTube and jumped on the Café to get the Flying Silk across stage info. They never come back to say if they would shell out the cash for a method.
Personally, I do not see were this is any kind of magic effect. It is cute, but no big mystery. It would be perfect for misdirection, but the references given on YouTube, do not use it for any real purpose. Went to the site reference, did not see a cheap Flying Silk offered, does he only sell this by request? What do you call NOT EXPENSIVE when most of his items are $400 to $1000? |

I just talk about what I know...I ask Sean to make two, the first one I offer Viktor Voitko he liked very much, and the other for me.There is more costums illusions or efects and is not in the market.I know a lot of magicians they doesn't like to share that kind of help!
This intem is a costum project and is not is his website. Send a emaiul to Sean and ask him about price... Paulo |
