Very nice model. It has a couple advantages over the aluminum one I've been using for years. The
biggest is that it doesn't have sharp rolled edges that stress the silk. Also, the paint doesn't
chip. Has a different feel, since it's plastic, but just as easy to manipulate. Recommended.

the dye tube is an excellent product. It's great to put the thumb tip to rest, and it can even do
more. The handling is simple, and the effects are amazing. I would strongly reccomend this product.

I was ready to hate this, as how good could a plastic dye tube be, right? Wrong! It is the exact
size and shape recommended by the late Dai Vernon and it works like a champ. I have no problem
using 18" silks and one finger can remove the tube during the routine rather than the usual two
finger pull which looks rather obvious.
On my DVD, which was shot over 14 years ago, I
recommend a dye tube which is no longer available. To do any of the dye tube routines on that DVD
this is the one to own.

It's a dye tube...what can I say. Not sure yet if I like it better than the ones with the cloth band
in the middle?

One end of the tube is blocked making it imposible to extract a silk. This is a peace of garbage and
that is where I put it. I will stick with my old tube with a moveable partition.
Excellent little device, well made and durable. Gave four stars as the promised instruction PDF from
Vernet web site is bad link and unable to download?
A nice light to medium skin tone dye tube that is comfortable to hold. Fits an average sized man's
hand or that of a woman who wears large gloves. No issues pulling silks from it (I typically use
6"-8"). Buy a few to keep in your stash in case one goes missing at a job.
Well made. I use it every show. I'm very confident in this dye tube. I Would buy many more if I
needed them.
