I use a TT silk vanish in kid's show all the time. As soon as it's done I look at all the kid's faces to see if any of them are staring directly at the TT. If they are I just smile and wink at them. That makes them feel like they're part of the show and in on your secrets. Usually that's enough to stop them yelling stuff out.

The WGM DVD has some great TT stuff. There is one routine that is especially good that never uses the poke the silk in the hole method at all.
It's great. Highly recommended.

A very good friend of mine told me a long time ago that you must have excellent technique with a TT if you don't want to get caught. Because of the easy availability for "8 year olds" to get their hands on them, we must be diligent to be original. My friend told me that if you really wanted to develop good technique, try using a TT that was a different color. I told him that would never work and he proceeded to show me his black TT that I had never noticed. I started to use one as well and after about a month of practice, I have not been caught since.

As far as the "ropes through body" are concerned, I remember seeing it with a coat hanger and coat in "Magic Digest" by George Anderson. After playing around with that for awhile, I got the idea that the coat could be <on> the spectator and make it an escape sort of trick. Did that for <years> and thought it was my own invention, then I see it in Mark Wilson's Complete Course of Magic! (So far, nobody seems to have caught me at it though!)
