i havn't bought the loops yet , but bought yigal misika's Elastic invisible thread and made some out of that( this involved 2 pair's of tweezers my trevor duffy magic mat and a lot of patience!) the magic mat is black allowing me to see the thread and doesn't catch with the tweezers. but its a lot of hassle (it is cheaper though as 30ft of thread is only ?12) but they break after a couple of tricks even though i've stretched them and the thread is initially white so i had to sharpie the bad boy's if i was wearing something dark. are the loops black ? and what is the diametre of a loop sitting on the table ? if you wanna try making your own give me a shout for any tips i might be able to give you as i could find any info on making them even on the elluisionist DVD on loops. if i have enough people ask ill do a video on it .

i thought so too , but its all about lighting. the darker the better!
The reactions are so worth the research, some places its really easy to see the loop other places you cant even find it ( and you know its there !!!) i amazed a girl in work and now she keeps looking at me funny and talking about me to other people she actually thinks i have magic powers now just through the haunted deck effect .Fantastic , i love it .

ive bought a pack of loops and they will be with me tomorrow. looking forward to it .
