Andy Martin –
The name for this item was originally coined by Petrie-Lewis c. 1920, and when Milson-Worth developed their version, they retained the same name. While I haven’t personally seen the P&L version, Milson-Worth has crafted an exceptional product, and I believe it’s of comparable quality.
However, one common issue with exquisitely made props like this is that manufacturers often prioritize one part of the effect (the vanish of the candle and appearance of the silk) over the other part (the initial vanish of the silk) and don’t provide an equally impressive method to go with it. In this case, the success of the entire trick relies heavily on the effectiveness of the vanish of the silk. Fortunately, Viking offers a solution with their Wonder Silk Vanishing Tube, making it the perfect complement to the Ultra Candle Tube.
The weakest part of this routine is the appearing candle “with lighted wick”. The method is a little tricky and it would have been better if Milson-Worth had spent a little more time thinking through the method to light the candle. Otherwise, this is a true beauty 🙂
One of the things I enjoy about doing my Speed Demos is bringing together all the items necessary to demonstrate a prop effectively. So naturally, when I present a demo for this routine, I’ll include the Wonder Silk Vanishing Tube to enhance the overall effect and presentation.
