The Color of Mystery by Scott Alexander*
If you liked Hanky Panky, you will love The Color of Mystery. Silk magic has that flash and color that really grabs people's attention. Combine that with an engaging story and you have a "pack flat and play big" entertaining piece of magic.
Scott has taken the classic Color Changing Silks and given it a fresh and modern approach by adding a two-phase killer ending that seems totally impossible. After changing the silks from white to red several times in funny and engaging ways, you then produce a chain of multicolored handkerchiefs and then immediately make them vanish, leaving the audience's jaws wide open.
The full performance script is included that builds from the timeless patter used by the late, great Billy McComb and other past masters. Scott adds his own jokes and bits of business that keep the audience interested every step of the way. This is six minutes of strong magic that can fit right into your show as a personality piece or feature act.
The best thing is that this routine is so completely bulletproof, it can be used in close-up settings or even for strolling magic. The routine completely resets itself, so you can do it over and over again all night long!
Scott also covers silk care and maintenance to keep your props looking fresh, and the entire kit comes with all the silks you need, the two reimagined gimmicks, written instructions, and a full training DVD. This is a real showpiece that is simple to do, which allows you to focus on selling your personality across the footlights. Audiences will remember this routine because it is charming, simple, direct, visual, and extremely entertaining!
