The name of this effect is almost too qualifying as other objects may be used in place of a live dove as I have seen it used effectively with other items. Nicely made out of durable fabric that is pleasing in colors this measures 32 inches long x 18 1/2 inches wide.
Showing the cloth on both sides the magician folds it in half holding the sewn in wood supports at the top giving an area at the bottom into which an item is placed. The magician quickly separates the two wood supports stretching the cloth out to a horizontal position which propels the object up into the air where the audience sees that it has changed into a white silk (included).
This is a very visual and easy to perform effect. I cannot say enough about how well made this is in its stitching and assembly throughout.
