Goblin TubeHere is a dandy little close up miracle.
Show a gleaming silver colored tube about 3/4" in diameter and about 2" long. Show both ends. The tube is empty. Place a piece of tissue paper over one end and hold it in place with a metal ring that matches the tube.
The same goes for the other end.
The tube is completely closed off at each end with tissue paper, like a small drum, and has been shown to be unmistakable empty.
Now very deliberately, you poke a hole in one end with your thumb.
Then reach inside and produce a large silk.
You can also produce a sponge ball or any other small object.
Great item, can be done very close up.
A great way to get that silk you need for a follow up trick.
