This is one of Arthur M. Pope's impromptu novelties, which can be performed on the spur of the moment.

Performer shows two silk handkerchiefs, one green and one yellow. He says that he will cause the green silk to turn yellow and the yellow one to turn green. Pulling the silks through his left hand with his right, the changes of color take place.

How it is done

The method, 6 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
