Coins thru silk
Did anyone have any luck sourcing the very sheer scarves used in the Ammar, Chris Powers or Al Schneider routines?
I know Ammar sells them but would love to walk out here in Nola somewhere and grab a couple I possible.
If anyone has had any luck I would love to hear about your experience.
Warm regards,
Dartagnan

I have.
Lots on EBay and Etsy.
Just was hoping someone might have procured there's from a chain store or something where I didn't have to order online.
Thanks though Richard!

Re: Coins thru silk
It's been years ago, but I bought several at K-Mart. Just go look at the scarves in the ladies' department and try not to look creepy while you're doing it.

Go to a store that sells stuff aimed at older women. You'll likely find it there.

Re: Coins thru silk
I bought a perfectly useful one at Walmart maybe 10 or so years ago. It wasn't silk. I think it was nylon or some other synthetic fabric.

Re: Coins thru silk
You might consider juggling scarves, which are sheer by nature.

or just Google "juggling scarves" for a wide variety of sources.

Re: Coins thru silk
Another vote for juggling scarves. Mine is a Mr Babache, but it's over twenty years old, so I don't know if that make is still available.

Re: Coins thru silk
That _might_ be a juggling scarf. I told Mike about them at a lecture in 98, and he was interested in them as a source then.

"Ergo decipiatur."
That's seven dollars for a set of three juggling scarves. There are other sources, and once you know what you are looking for you can hunt them down.

Re: Coins thru silk
I bought several in a few different colors a few years ago at Walmart and they were really inexpensive($2.00 ea). They were the exact same ones that Ammar was selling at the time.

To be fair, he is selling the routine with the scarf there.

I bought the new ones Mike carries and they are superior than anything I could find elsewhere:

Re: Coins thru silk
Just passin by.
For the cloth I use I cut up a bug net.
It is the floppiest cloth I have found.
And you can cut it to a desired size.
If you want to be really classy you could hem it.
I never bothered.

Re: Coins thru silk
Thanks for the ideas everyone. Haven't been back in awhile.
Steve Reynolds actually had a few and was generous enough to give me one.
Oh, and I've seen Steve's Zarrow DVD footage that is shortly to be released. It's Badass.
Warm regards,
