At any moment or during any part of the act, you can take any silk of your choice and run it through your palm or another person's hand. Just like that. You can show both sides of the hand and do it as often and as quickly or slowly as you like. Then pull the silk back, revealing every part of it and your skin, because everything can be examined.
Later or before, you can use the silk for other effects. You can do it at close range, in a parlor, or on stage. It's a hit with children's and comedy magic tricks, but you can use it for any type of presentation, even "darker" presentations or hypnosis.

ORIGINS
Gonzalo Albiñana has been thinking about, presenting and developing this effect for the last, perhaps fifteen years? Seven years ago, he began showing it to various magicians and was awarded the Geni
D'Or Award for Creativity. Later, in 2019, he participated in the Spanish National Congress and won the Parlor Magic Trophy. Now he is ready to share it with the magic community to see
what other people can make of it. Inspired by the work of Al Bach, Alexander de Cova, and many old masters and magicians of the past, The Silk is the evolution of the type of magic Gonzalo prefers. A clear plot, easy to understand, beautiful and amazing to watch, with plenty of room for the performer to develop their material and character. The idea started one day when, in the middle of a sequence where silk disappears, a child started saying something about a plastic finger? So Gonzalo started thinking. After many trials and errors, different effects, solutions, and prototypes, and the combination of several ideas, such as Chung Ling Soo's "Arrow and Ribbon Through the Body," Alexander de Cova's "The Silk Through the Scorecard," and various other approaches mentioned in the tutorial, "The Silk" slowly came to life over the years and became the opening to almost every one of his shows.
