Silks, or handkerchiefs are a common prop used by magicians.
Tricks with them have been published as far back as Discoverie of Witchcraft by Reginald Scot (1584).
Buatier de Kolta, the son of a silk merchant, created one of the first full silk routine around 1890, which was described in Later Magic by Hoffmann.
Silks are now sold in a wide variety of colors, patterns and sizes.
Some popular routines are:
- Blendo
- Twentieth Century Silk
- Silk in Balloon
- Silk through Cane
- Silk to Cane
- Color-Changing Silks
- Silk to Egg (Stodare Egg and Sucker Egg Trick)
- Sucker Silk
- Sympathetic Silks
- Slydini Silks (melting knots)
- Vanishing Silk
