Acrobatic Silks

{SKILL LEVEL ONE - See "Skill Levels" at left}

A wooden wand is shown to have three silks hanging from it. There are two of one-color handkerchiefs in the left and middle holes and one of another color in the right hole. The performer explains that the different color handkerchief is his acrobat and will jump from position to position on the wand. Performer momentarily puts the wand behind his back and commands the handkerchief to jump. When he removes the wand from his back the handkerchief has jumped to the other end. The audience will scream that the wand was just turned around. After much comedy by play the magician causes the silk to jump to the center position right before everyone's eyes.
