IN APPRECIATION I am deeply grateful to my friend Eric C. Lewis of Northampton, England. In 19m he published "MORE STUDIES IN MYSTERY".

A novel s i l k routine described t h e r e i n , and e n t i t l e d " The Diminishing Si Ik Production", disclosed a clever new principle with si Iks. Mr. Lewis has k i n d l y consented to our exclusive release of this new p r i n c i p l e in the United States. Using the idea of hiding a number of s i l k s of graduated sizes, one within the other, I have b u i l t t h i s nucleus into a half dozen workable and amazingly simple-to-perform effects, opening a new f i e l d in s i l k magic.

The special f o l d that makes possible the e f f e c t s contained herein is of my own o r i g i n a t i o n . Those possessing "MORE STUDIES IN MYSTERY" w i l l find my f o l d to be quite d i f f e r e n t .

Since releasing his book, my friend Lewis writes me that the original fold must be adjusted to prevent the load from coming into view prematurely. Repeated t r i a l s have shown that the method i l l u s t r a t e d and described herein is 100% reliable and makes possible effects that should appeal to a l l who perform with s i l k s .

The effects offered herein are but a few choice routines employing the combined e f f o r t s of Mr. Lewis and myself. Any performer with imagination can carry our e f f o r t s to new and greater heights. Their simplicity w i l l appeal to a l l . Numerous effects, new and o l d , can be presented with ease. D i f f i c u l t sleights are no longer necsssary to produce s i l k miraclesl ^
