STS Gimmick

Postby Sir_Digby_Chicken_Ceaser » Apr 12th, '07, 22:12



Hey all,

So a couple of days ago i bought Jay Noblezada's self tying shoe laces and with this came a whole host of effect ideas. Now some of these effects involve tying two shoe's laces which as you will know isn't possible as the STS package only provides one gimmick.

I was just wondering if anybody who owns the trick knows where i could get another gimmick without paying for the trick all over again.

PM me please to prevent any exposure

Many Thanks

Sam

The day after I saw the effect on the Blaine special, I ran out and bought...




...a mystical, magical device for 97 cents at Walmart. Works like a charm.

*sigh* As if no one knew already anyway.

I used an aligator clip at first, then graduated to a little brake off of the drawstring on my hoodie. You can find them at craft supply stores.

Mr Noblezada is still getting sales so it would appear not everyone knows......

Thanks for the tip

Try an outdoors shop like Millets or Blacks, they'll stock just what you need.
