The Knotted Silks By D. Angelo Ferri

The Knotted Silks:
The Knotted Silks is a classic of Close Up Magic. All that is required are two silks made of rip stop nylon that are still available from many Magic Dealers.
As with my e-book on the Coins Through the Table, I know there are some Magicians who would like to learn this classic of Magic but are not interested in other routines that demand attention to timing patterns and specific systems of movement.
This is the identical text and photos offered in the chapter on the Knotted Silks in my e-book,The Master of Misdirection; separated out for those students who would like to concentrate on this routine.
The Knotted Silks are a wonderful introduction to my teachers Magic. The student needs no special performance conditions save a table and chair, creating many opportunities to perform, gain experience and improve.
