Comments
This is a magic trick from the early days of Tenyo where they made their version of classic magic effects. Many Time Capules were sold in magic stores because it is a solid trick.
My Rating [i]
Good (5) This is a solid trick but does not score higher on the Tenyo scale because it is not original.

Comments
Tenyo was not the inventor or originator of this trick and they did not properly credit the inventor. According to magic historians, Frank Ducrot introduced the commercial version of 20th Century Silks in 1900 although the concept existed before that. They name was appropriate because the 20th Century had just begun when the trick was introduced.
Tenyo released another version of the trick using red, blue and a US Flag silk. It is the same basic trick.
My Rating [i]
OK (4) Mostly because it was not invented by Tenyo, but it is a very good classic magic trick.
