This is not a stand alone magic effect, but a prop you can use in conjunction with many other colouring effects to enhance the routine. The apparatus comprises of what appears to be a regular artist palette, with six blobs of paint in different colours. Just wave the palette, and the colours vanish, leaving six empty. Spots in their place. You can also do this in reverse, having the colours appear in place of the empty spots. This goes very well with colouring props like the magic colouring book, colour it, amazing birthday bear picture frame etc. A feeder showing the black and white picture(s) display the palette with the coloured spots, wave it over the picture(s) and show the colours have vanished. Then show the picture(s) is coloured. It can be used to transform white ribbons or silks to different coloured ones (in a change bag). The different coloured silks or ribbons could then be used for a follow up effect. There are also effects with silks like the happy birthday dyeing set, a merry xmas dyeing set, where the palette can be incorporated for an additional touch of magic. It can be used in silk dyeing effects (via a dye tube). You can use it with a genii tube, where you pour water into the tube and pour out different coloured liquids, and silks to match the liquid. Use the palette to transfer the colours. Wave it before a handkerchief (or a pair of handkerchiefs) for your colouring changing silks. There are colouring changing penknives, wands, rope, neck ties, and even complete dresses amongst magicians props. And the imaginative performer can incorporate the palette with many of these effects for that added magic touch.
