Andy Martin –
This effect was originally called Swish and invented by Warren Stephens c. 1969. It was often combined with Warren Stephens other effect Bowl of Silks. This is a well made copy from Creative Magic Products c. 1974. I am not sure if they had permission or not, but this appears to be a direct copy.
Creative Magic Products was a joint venture started by Dr. Keith Rossein and Frank Paglia in Baldwin, New York, c. 1974. They appeared to be well funded with a real mission and purpose but as far as I can tell they were only in business from 1974 to 1978. If you have more information on them please contact me.
This is a great item that is easy to do. In the video I make the silks reappear using one of Viking’s Mirror Wine Glasses which are perfect for this effect. I’ve had a few people comment on the video saying that it looks like camera trickery, but if you had been in the Porcupine when I took the video you would have seen the same vanish and appearance. When I watch it back myself, it does look pretty amazing, if I do say so myself 🙂
