Show an empty gleaming nickel-plated brass tube and two lids. Open up a beautiful parasol and show it to the audience. Fold up the parasol and place it in the tube. Cap the end of the tube. If you like, you can have an audience member hold the tube. Show six different cubed silks. Place the silks into a bag. Magically, the silks change into the parasol cover. Open the tube and remove the parasol. Open the parasol. The cover is gone. In its place, hanging from the ribs of the parasol, are the six missing silks.
