SEVEN MAGIC TRICK TIPS USING INVISIBLE THREAD Trying to get magicians to divulge their secrets associated with the invisible thread is near impossible. However, we do want to provide you with some highlights and tips about the top seven magic trick tips performed using invisible thread. What is “Invisible Thread”? The first of the seven magic trick tips using invisible thread is to understand what it is. For years, magicians worked with invisible thread and their hands only, meaning they had to be very precise in their movements for the magic tricks to appear flawless. Today, magicians can use an invisible thread reel, which not only dispenses the thread but it is also designed to retract it. Invisible Thread Reel Size The second tip when using a thread reel is to use the appropriate size. Since different objects need different types of control, thread reels are made in a number of different sizes. For magicians, the idea is to use the smaller size invisible thread reels for close-up work opposed to a larger reel for distance. Third on the list of seven trick tips using invisible thread is using the right tension. As you pull the invisible thread out of the reel, there will be an increase in tension. If you want to put more tension on the thread reel, wind more of the invisible thread into a wax ball. Floating Objects When using invisible thread for a magic trick, keep in mind that you want something that is light enough not to sag by putting too much weight on the thread. Other choices to use an invisible thread magic trick include ring fingers, an empty soda can, etc. Those Darn Lights Next, to use invisible thread, you have to know how to use correct lighting. If you are a magician or just practicing to be one and you want to perform tricks with the invisible thread, remember that lighting is crucial. The two main factors to consider when using the thread reel are light source and clothing. Typically, the best conditions for a magic trick with invisible thread are cloudy days and the worst, direct lighting that comes from behind you. Magic is always fun and with some practice, you will soon learn a number of magic tricks with invisible thread, perfect for entertaining family and friends. The sixth of the seven magic trick tips using invisible thread has to do with methods of performing the tricks, such as the Hoop Pass. This is actually considered one of the greatest tricks you can do with the invisible thread reel, which involves passing a solid hoop over a bill. Lay the hoop on the thread so it is between you and the floating bill. The final tip is that whatever trick being performed using invisible thread and/or a reel, it should never kill the effect. We recommend you use the invisible thread late in your show, which will end the performance on a fun note
