I am interested in buying a silk dye tube. I see them for sale from $7.00 to $25.00 and is there that much difference? I want to do a nice silk change routine.
thanks, Jeff

They are all different. It depends upon the size of silk that you want to use.

You can make a dye tube out a piece of small plastic pipe even.

I know this sound vague but without knowing what size or exact routine you are planning on doing, it is hard to recommend a dye tube.

It all depends on your needs. I have several different sizes depending on the occassion and the type of production. I like the Johnson tubes but I think there are others on the market, and don't rule out making your own, I think they are described in Tarbell and Greater Magic.

Have you checked out the Rice Books for varieties so that you know one from the other?

They are different from one another.

The best thing to do would be to hold them in your hand and try them out. You want one that fits your hand and allows your hand to look natural. It's hard when you're ordering online, but a visit to a good magic shop might help. I've found that there are several different kinds of them, some I would never use!
If you know the principle behind the dye tube, it's very, very easy to build your own. Do a search on the Café, maybe there's already a post on making your own dye tube. Good luck!
