Does anybody have a good idea of what I can do with IT? I have a lot but not lots of ideas about what do with it.

P.S. if I shouldn't post the words "IT", please erase this message.

unfortunatlely the moderators don't really pay much attention to the board, so you are unlikely to get it deleted.
The best idea is to get hold of a video, Micheal Ammar has Easy to Master Thread miracles, and another that I've heard is good is Who's Afraid of IT. Play around with different ways of hooking it up, buy Lite Flyte as that has a good one, or UFO, these are all effects that use IT. If you don't have the money an idea is to look at videos of these effects and work out how you could do something similar, although that might be considered unfair to the people who came up with these tricks

I agree with Nicholas, but would prehaps not recomend UFO, since it is a real pain to get right!

If you purchase a Mini IT Reel from emagictricks.co.uk (cheap and a very good deal!)...

How much is a £ in US dollars?

Also, is the UFO the hummer card?

At the time of replying 8.40am 11/3/03, NatWest exchange rate is $1.59 = £1.00 but this has been up & down like a yo-yo in recent weeks due to the uncertainty of the Iraq situation.

Sorry, I have no experience of UFO.

They put more ITRs there regularly. (That's why I asked:-)

I have enough IT by itself.

Thank you, though.

I had a lot of I.T. as well but now I can't find it!

have you ever tried floating a dollar bill.

Floating dollar bill - great effect - easy, almost impromptu and totally jaw-dropping.

You'll need a LOT of practice - the bill will tend to wobble a bit at first in an unnatural way, but with practice, you'll eliminate this.

Also, it's done with a spectators bill!!!

sorry my last post was acutaly a joke you guys obviusly didnt pick up on the hint of sarcasim.

The hummer card is similar to the ufo ut not the same.
Regarding the IT,
You can do lots of things like a rising card in a deck, moving objects on tables, floating and spinning almost anything as long as its light.

I would recommen using magicians wax with it and storing it under your thumb nail.
