Twentieth Century Silk

Twentieth Century Silk or handkerchief is a routine credited to Frank Ducrot.

The performer ties two silk handkerchiefs together, balled up and placed in full view. A third silk of a different color is caused to vanish and reappear tied between the two other silks.

A similar silk effect also created by Ducrot is Blendo.
