Loops New Generation (Set of 8) by Yigal Mesika

Broke the first 2 I tired to use. Watched the instruction video and that helped a ton. Now I have little fear of breaking.As for being visible, yes it is, under bright lights there’s a good chance someone may see it. I’ve found that most people are too busy looking at the levitating dollar. Haven’t been caught yet.

I started playing around with invisible string and magicians wax, which enabled me to levitate small objects, the problem was finding ways to carry and anchor it if you wanted to do any of these tricks while out with friends. Loops solved these problems. Simple wear one (or more) around your wrist and you will have access anytime and anywhere you choose to.You could make your own loops out of invisible thread but I'm willing to pay more to get around that hassle.As far as those complaining loops are not invisible. Well, if your being detected it's your own fault. The string is not a cloak, but it is undetectable if you follow some basic rules.1. Don't use behind pure black or pure white backgrounds. Textured backgrounds with variation and patterns work best2. Consider the lighting of the inviroment your in and position yourself correctly. When in a new environment I usually test for glare by stretching it out in front of me while others are not paying attention.3. You should not levitate things for more than a few seconds, or repeatedly for the same person(s)If you follow these rules you will be 100% undetectable. Ive told people that I was using invisible thread and they still could not detect it.

I bought these loops in hopes of them being easy to use, and ultimately, achieving tricks that can be performed either closely or moderately far away from the audience. I needed a trick that required a rudimentary setup, but it was enough to wow people. For me personally, though I have yet to perform any of the tricks to an audience yet, the floating bill trick met the criteria. It is simple, and extremely fun to perform. Meskia also does a good job explaining each of the 3 tricks. The loops exceeded my expectations in terms of durability as by looking at them, I expected them to break very easily. (I haven't really used much force yet, so we'll see how it goes.) They're pretty good loops, but the one thing that disappointed me is the 'patented loop saver.' It's a joke. It does not protect your loops in any way. In fact, one of my loops came broken and another one snapped when I tried to retrieve it like how Mesika retrieves them in the video, which is by pinching the sides of the loop saver inward. I am down to 6 loops on the first day, though they are supposed to last a month. I really wouldn't call them 'value for money', but they do allow for pretty decent tricks.

I'm on my second package. Thinking I broke all the ones in the first packet from poor skills. Which was partially my fault many of the first times these loops broke from mishandling. But they are also breaking from doing the example tricks on the video. This product is cool but gets one star because there is no way you are moving a fork with these things. And there is definitely no way to use them to make a fork spin on a bottle which is another advertised trick for these.The idea that the string could send enough force when snapped on a fork to get it to spin on top of a bottle is ludicrous. So I don't like what seems to be deceptive advertising. BUT ...Here's the thing though even though I keep breaking it. I keep buying more ... I love when the effect works. but this is getting expensive

i bought my set about a year ago and ive only seemed to snap one and lose the other but don’t acknowledge the bad reviews if yk what magic thread is and know how to use it, ive used them over and over and only broke one doing a trick where the item was too heavy just know the limits and they will continue to wow people (note: these are wayy stronger and stretchier than the elastics ive used back in the day id give this product six stars if i could

If you are familiar with thread work this is a great gimmick. But the old loops I bought nearly 10 years ago worked way better and I feel we’re stronger. I’m assuming it was a thicker material and easier to see before and now even though it is tougher to see I believe they stretch out way too much. I bought these last week and I’m down to 1 more as of today. They are too delicate. Strong effects either way. 2 stars for the lack of strength. 5 stars for the gimmick and for what it use to be.

These are exactly what they say they are. They're very, very, very thin rubber bands used for 'magic' tricks to make it look like you're levitating something. They take some practice and patience to get used to using, but with time & effort you too can make it look like you're levitating a dollar bill! Obviously they're not for lifting 'heavy' things, even a pencil was a stretch for the weight they can handle, but you just have to understand what you're working with and work within their limitations.

Well made; good quality; works well; good packing; good shipping.
