I-Boss ITR

Postby Kevin Cann » Mar 5th, '11, 12:21



I bought my last ITR, a thread Boss, for about £40 and was looking for a replacement spool & thread on the internet. I found a replacement kit for £15 and was just about to buy it when I saw on the same list a fairly new product from the same manufacturers (sorcery) called the I-Boss.

Unbelievably it is virtually the same product as the Thread Boss ITR but at a fraction of the cost - £12 !!! So instead of ordering a replacement spool I ordered a completely new ITR for cheaper than the replacement !!

The Effect (What they say)
Sorcery Releases the NEW I-BOSS Reel

10 Mind Blowing Routines
50' of Superior Quality Kevlar IT

Review Writen by: Ian Maltby

"Exellent reel for the money almost identical to the Original Thread Bossl. Very quite in operation and you get TEN Amazing routines to learn. Plus your'e getting a Real Quality Product from Sorcery Manufacturing. I Highly Recommend This reel to anyone wanting the most Versitile ITR Ever."

Cost £11.50 from world-of-magic.co.uk


Difficulty (1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

depends what you do but overall a 2

Review I was somewhat sceptical but as it was so cheap and came with 50 feet of kevlar thread I thought I'd buy one to compare with my original Thread Boss & was pleasantly surprised. It's virtually the same in size (about 2 inches) and quality. It has a slightly more 'homemade' look to it but is actually more sturdy than the original. The original caps used to come off too easily on mine but these are much tighter.

Stronger than the original thread too being Kevlar. I have experimented and easily floated my wedding ring and the bill float was more sturdy too, although the Kevlar is very slightly more visible if you really look hard against a white background


Overall

Fantastic ! Amazing price to create some of the best reactions you will ever get from your audiences. Ideal for close up and parlour. I'd give it a 9.5 out of 10 (losing .5 for looks), but then I'd probably only give the original a 9 !

Where do you get the I-Boss Reel?

Postby JamesGeorge » Mar 11th, '11, 03:22

Here is the direct link to James George's Web-site, the only way to know for sure that you are getting the Original Sorcery Reel is by ordering it directly from ITRMagicTricks.com

We have designed this reel specifically to compete and destroy the Thread Genii Knock off reel from Rob Stiff ( Rob ya and Stiff Ya! ) at Magic Makers. Their reel includes 18' of the worst thread on the planet and I certianly would not call it invisible!

Please spread the news around on the other Magic Forums as well! Appreciate all of your support over the years! Thanks Everyone!

Only special for a limited Time! Only $11.25!
