Haunted Silk Paisley Hanky – Hyrum the Friendly Ghost

Haunted Silk Paisley Hanky – Hyrum the Friendly Ghost

The silk paisley hanky comes to life as if haunted by Hyrum the Friendly Ghost—but there’s no need for spooky! This is the definitive version of the classic dancing handkerchief, a levitation effect that can be worked into 101 different presentations.

Beautifully patterned, the 18" silk hanky adds style and professionalism to your act. Called the “Trick of the Millennium” by Genii magazine, this effect has been performed by world-class professionals such as Jeff McBride on the Vegas stage. It’s a strong, visual routine suitable for close-up, stage, school assemblies, church services, and parties.

The Effect: The magician shows a silk hanky and folds it in plain view. Suddenly, it begins to rise and dance on its own, even though the magician’s hands are clearly visible. A borrowed object (coin, key, marble, or ring) can then be placed inside, and the object itself visibly rises within the folds. At the end, the hanky is shaken out—completely clean.

Always ready to go at a moment’s notice, this trick is easy to do, professional in appearance, and endlessly versatile.
