I would like to put together several (4-6) entertaining silk effects especially geared towards a young children's crowd (Kindergarten-6th grade)although they can be entertaining for adults (parents) as well.
I would appreciate it if you can kindly tell me which (4-6) silk effects you would recommend, and if possible, from which manufacturer would you recommend obtaining these effects. Thank you very much for your help and courtesy. Best regards, Michael

I think that some good silk effects, besides productions and vanishes, are:
Fountain of silks Mismade flag (or Santa's Suit for a Christmas show) Blendos Color changes That's all I can think of right now. Personally, I've had great experiences with Steven's, but you might want to take a look at the Sweet or Sour forum if you want to use any other dealer. |

I would agree with Chris's selections. Fountain of silks is a crowd pleaser as it a phantom which also lets you get into the steal for the fountain.
As for routines that give you more time, color changing hank, blendos, 20th Century silks all work great. I make an Alladin's 20th century silk set that lends itself to an easy storyline. Check the Rice Ency. of Silk Magic. You can also look at a my website for more information or contact me direct if I can help you further.

Several effects come to mind:
TT vanish of silk, Mismade Flag, Hank Moorehouse "Spotty" (not always available, similar concept of Mismade Flag) Silk Fountain, 5 Minutes with a Pocket Hankerchief (Not silk, but the lay audience doesn't know what silks are) <!! Get Tom Owen Watch Winder for this routine !!>. Most dealers carry all or if not some of these effects. Whom to buy from depends a lot on your budget and the quaility of the silks you want to have. Most dealers carry low to mid grade silk products. High End dealers include P&A, Rice Silk Studio, and Hughes Magic Inc. as shown above would be a few examples.
Be remembered for performing what looks like MAGIC, not skill.

I believe Duane Laflin recently released a video with an entire silk act. It might be worth looking into.

A proven pleaser is the (sucker) silk to egg> George @ Viking sells a great looking egg...
