This is a bargain. If you check out VI's site, you'll notice you can purchase the ebook separately...for $59.99. For this purchase, you get a small box containing the silks, a card with the access code to download the tutorials AND the ebook for $34.95.

While this is an excellent buy, I gave this a 'good' rating. While the video tutorials are of very good quality, they are repurposed vids from what looks to me L&L productions. Don't get me wrong, I was a big fan of L&L and bought a lot of books and vids from them and they produced great stuff.

My primary reason for purchasing this set was due to the annotated ebook. While I would've preferred a hardback version of the book, this is the next best thing. Slydini was one of my favorite performers and anything he released I tried to obtain for my collection. I haven't worked with the silks and don't plan to in the near future; however, I still recommend this for those collectors who are fascinated with Slydini's work.

This is a pretty mixed release from Murphy's. It's a good value in that it includes the L&L videos and excerpt from Annotated Slydini. However, the silks included seem best for only practice, not performance. The silk material is thick and the stitching was frayed in a few spots on the set I received. The main issue I have with the silks is that they feel like a magic prop, they don't feel like a normal silk handkerchief, so if you were to hand this to a spectator they would likely suspect that the silks are rigged in some type of way, which I feel greatly weakens the effect. Part of the beauty of this effect is that they really are normal silks and they really are being knotted, the material used for these silks adds unnecessary suspicion.

Again, this is a good value set for what is included, but you may find yourself needing to purchase better quality silks, like Palmer silks, in addition to this set.

The quality of the seams on the silks are not the best. After using them for a week, they are falling apart. I had bought a different brand those were even worse. I don’t know a good one to compare to but these don’t seem to be them!

Tyler

I’m experienced with this piece of magic so I have owned several different sets of silks (handkerchiefs). This is the worst set so far. I don’t like leaving negative reviews but I have to be honest. The material is feels great the first few hours or so, but after you tie so many knots, it gets severely wrinkled and even to the point of affecting the outcome of the effect. Many loose threads and several popped stitches on my set. They say they are made to the exact specs, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I hope VI sends me another set on behalf of Murphys so I can at least use one set strictly for practicing and the other for performance only.
