VI. KNOTS, TIES, AND FLOURISHES

For the acquisition of that deft, graceful manner of handling articles so necessary for the proper presentation of magic, there is no better method than the practice of the knot flourishes with silk handkerchiefs. In fact, these flourishes serve a double purpose, for the use of some of them in the course of an act with silks makes a pleasing interlude; indeed, a very interesting and entertaining act can be arranged with these flourishes alone. Large silks, at least eighteen inches square, should be used and, in the early stages of practice, after twirling them rope fashion, small rubber bands should be passed over them to the middle to keep the twisted folds together.
