The Opening Effect is the most important one in your act. Here's the solution that has worked for me for over 40 years. If you don't catch the attention of your audience immediately then you probably never will. I have two tricks that I have used for nearly 40 years to gain an audience's attention FAST. My favorite and most successful of the two is the "Color Changing Silks." Over the years I have polished and perfected this effect, and I can honestly, I consider this to be an ultimate version of this classic piece of magic. The custom handmade dye tubes have been redesigned from the ground up, and allow you to achieve these results like never before.

I have searched for a good dye tube since Johnson's stopped making their dye tubes, and could never find one that was good enough until NOW. Everything you need to present the effect is included, and some of the subtleties will surprise even performers who think they know the trick! You will never need another opening effect after learning this routine. It is that strong. A sure-fire routine packed with surprises. The Color Changing

"The Colour Changing Silks is a classic – I have always loved the effect. Over the years I think I have tried every version of this trick that has been released but have never felt comfortable doing any of them. Nick has redesigned this trick from the ground up, starting with the dye-tube itself! Nick’s tube is magnetic and so can be held wherever you want in whatever orientation you want, so grabbing the silk and tube in the correct way at the start is a no-brainer. The tube has an internal tape, so there’s no chance of a silk making a premature appearance. But above all, the shape of the tube is perfect, making the handling easy and allowing you to concentrate on the performance – and Nick’s routine is just fabulous! This has gone straight into my number one spot, which is quite something. I had two audience participation tricks back-to-back and have always wanted a “breather” trick to do between them, but I have never found a “solo” trick that takes up no extra space and that was visual and clever enough. Well, Nick’s CCS fits the bill perfectly, with several collective gasps and many laughs from the audience along the way. This is brilliant! "
