It’s "color-changing" in the magic sense of the phrase, and the Tie Shell allows you
to apparently switch ties in almost no time.
I guess there’s no secret to shroud here – it’s all in the name. David Penn's Tie Shell is just that, a gimmick so you can make a “shell” of one tie that rests on another one that you’re actually wearing. And when you want, and with a little misdirection, you can effectively remove and ditch the “shell” and magically "change" your tie.
The Gimmick
The well made Tie Shell gimmick lets you customize two ties of your own choice. You’ll destroy one tie in the process that will act as the first tie.
The second tie is kept normal and it’s the one that you’re actually wearing at the end. You’ll have to do some arts and crafts to make your tie shell gimmick, but the process is fairly straight-forward and it’s not difficult. The gimmick is efficient and effective.
Misdirect
To perform the actual change, you’ll need some misdirection. Penn teaches you how to briefly turn around under the guise of a spectator showing a playing card or freely chosen word to the audience so you can make the change.
I found the Tie Shell to be everything that’s it’s touted to be. If you want to make your necktie change in the course of an act or routine, this is a great way to go.
