A Double Colour Change Performed Instantly

One of the most popular magical effects is to have an item change colour. It could be a playing card, a poker chip, a pencil or even the magician's entire costume. In this video, it's a silk hankerchief - in fact two silk hankerchiefs knotted together. The magician freely displays two hankerchiefs, one blue and the other yellow, and knotted together at one corner. With a brisk swipe of his free hand, the colours are seen to instantly change to one red and the other green. This effect began many years ago using just one silk hankerchief which changes its colour. Somewhere along the track of time, due to progress and probably competition, the ante was 'upped' to include a second hankerchief. This development hasn't in any way detracted from the effect - rather, it enhances the performance.
