Does anyone make a simple silk with a cross on it?

Why don't you just use a white silk and any color sharpie? Stretch it over cardboard or if you know someone with an embroidery hoop to borrow or buy. Just thinking. Chris

I have not seen one come to think of it commercially produced. All have either a "likeness" of Jesus on it the word "Jesus", etc.. I ordered some custom made letter silks from Laflin several years ago that I needed for a particular trick that were super nice, but I do not think Laflin Magic any longer provides that specialized service.

I don't like using marker as it tends to bleed. I have silks with the likeness of Jesus on it but the pictures tend to be to "white" if you get my drift. I teach mult-colored children and they just make me feel uncomfortable. Many of you have probably been thinking like this for years.If they gave some color to the Jesus silk of just had a cross silk, it would end this situation for me.

Rick, I believe Duane Laflin now has a very colorful Jesus silk. Now the cross silk is another matter. I have never seen one, but you'd think they would be available. I wish they were.

Your using the wrong marker then! I have used marker on silks and they look great you need to get a fabric marker from jo ann fabric or other fabric store. they do not 'bleed" like a sharpie or other markers.
of course test it on an old silk first to make sure it gives you the desired effect! good luck oh and yes I would call Duane and ask him what he has to offer - Iknow he is real busy right now but he always makes time for people sam

Regan, I have Duane's Jesus silk, but it has blue eyes and very light skin. The older I get the more uncomfortable I am with this version.

I didn't know that Rick. I had not seen it up close, but I saw him use one in his show that was very bright and colorful. I had never seen a "Jesus" silk like it before, but I heard it was available from Duane.

Thanks again Mike. Tim is making two 18" cross silks for $37 each. Not a bad price. I look forward to using them.

Nice! Let us know what you think- we might all want them too! Those could be a great alternative to the "picture" silks that are only currently available.

Great, Tim is a wonderful guy to work with. More than likely I will be having some custom silks made up down the road for an effect I am writing up.

Wow- Rick- I got the email with the full color picture- this silk looks terrific! Mind if I order one too? This might start a new Gospel magic product for Tim...

Ordered mine today- thanks again Rick for "creating" this new product through Tim.

Maybe Tim will include it in his line and start advertising it soon.

I also signed up for the "Word Wavers" through Barry. Going to use the Fruit of the Spirit silks instead of the large hard to carry magnetic board I currently use. The routine is with "Strat-O-Spheres" that I did in one take for the first time (how's that for a disclaimer?)is posted on youtube: put in "Roger Bus Gospel magic" in the search box to see the "Wanna see fruit fly?" effect (ok- I forgot to use that line as well)- then click on the Strat-O-Spheres trick. I will probably have the silks in the "apple box" instead at the end. The routine is also posted in writing under the "routines" section of (articles that were previously posted to The Newest Tops)at http://www.ChristianMagician.org
