Andy Martin –
This is probably the most sought after effect from Howie’s Limited Editions line of magic back in the 1980’s and 1990’s and which was subsequently purchased by Hank Lee c. 1995. This mirror came in an Oak frame and this one, a Gold frame. With the exception of the finish there is no other difference between the two versions.
The invisible motion of the silk when you walk away from the frame does not use any threads and is a great extra feature that really flaws them.
When practicing this for an upcoming Speed Demo I found adding some felt to the stand to secure the frame when pushing items through and also adding some felt feet to the bottom of the stand made performing this significantly easier and more effective.
It is an impressive item that when performed with a clean mirror and correct light looks totally amazing.
