Fred Johansen's Mongolian
Silk Mystery, invented in the 1930s and used by him to
entertain Mongolian tribes during his world travels with the U.S.
Navy, is one of the few silk dying effects that uses no gimmicked
dye tube and pretty much operates on pure sleight of hand, making
it of no interest to the typical "magic store
magician."
I have brought it "up
to date" and include ways to combine it with C. Stephensen's
Half-Dyed Silk, the Mis-Made Flag, Duke Stern's
Dye-Version, and Frank Ducrot's Blendo and 20th
Century Silks. It can also be a great segue from a Torn
and Restored Newspaper effect, since the paper tube is
usually made from ordinary newspaper. Finally I have teamed it up
with Spellbinder's Gray Art Switch Box, revealed here
for the first time.
Recently added, an
Addendum by Wiz Kid Qua-Fiki with some clever subtleties
involving comic books. All previous purchasers have been sent an
updated version.
