Also, don't forget the classic sources, like Rice's Encyclopedia of Silk Magic.

Yes, Duane Laflin's tutorials and Rice's Encyclopedia of Silk Magic are great resources.

Another book you may want to look for is Silken Sorcery by Jean Hugard.
(only $3.00 on Lybrary.com. - https://www.lybrary.com/silken-sorcery-p-160.html )

Self-Working Handkerchief Magic by Karl Fulves. Don't let the fact that the Fulves book is a mass-market soft cover book from Dover Publications put you off. There is some very fine handkerchief magic in this book (some of it too good to publish for a mass-market book, imo.)


Also, The Tarbell Course in Magic has many effects using silk handkerchiefs.

Dan Harlan made a video series called "Tarbell: Every Trick in the Book" , where he performed and explained every trick appearing in the Tarbell Course in Magic (in many cases updating some tricks that used out-of-fashion items so they are usable for a modern audience) Several of the installments are focused on silk handkerchief magic:

Tarbell 17: Handkerchief Tricks

Tarbell 18: Knotty Silks

Tarbell 19: Eggs and Silks

Tarbell 30: Handkerchief Magic

Tarbell 43: Color Changing Silks

Tarbell 89: Silk Magic
