Hi again. What are the absolute best thread videos on the market today? Thanks. Rachel.

NOT the ellusionist ones for start.

Im far from an expert on IT but you'd do well to check out Michael Ammars easy to master thread miracles volumes.

yes i too would recomend mikes easy thread miricles dvd, enogh stuff to give you a great grounding in thread work and get you thinking about your own ideas.

Hi I.D. You say NOT the Illusonists ones. Is there a specific problem with theirs? Thanks. Rachel.

Yes Rachel.

1) They are made by Ellusionist.. hence.. WAY Overpriced.

2) They dont really teach you anything.

3) If your going to spend money on a volume of DVDs.. then buy the best.. hence.. Michaels Ammars series.

4) keep repeating 1 to 3 over and over till you realise that Ellusionist should be the last place you ever stop.. for anything. UNLESS.. you are me. In which case you buy everything.. because you like.. have to??

Oh.. and welcome to TM . I (I.D) would be TM's resident Monkey in a suit running round with a gun and wondering how I'm not yet in a straightjacket or something like that..

Although I have never seen the Easy to Master Thread series, if they are anything like the ETM Cards and Mental Miracles, then you are in for a treat.

You certainly are in for a treat.

Theres a wonderful bit where you see this old man fiddling with a par of tights... and he CLEARLY knows WAY too much about tights , suspenders and pantyhose

the ring on wand, ok lucite rod to be technicle, is just pure poetry and worth the dvd on its own.

I just recieved 'The Cloak" dvd i've never heard of it before the box says it is a new hook up for elastic thread. I'll review it once I've seen it.

In addition to The Michael Ammar ones there is
Who's Afraid Of IT. dvd Jon Le Clair who preceded this with a lecture in Davenport's Studio & then a book on the subject.
These 2 constitute of the most practical and informative works available.

There is a dvd (possibly for advanced workers by Finn Jon) And another again not for beginners by Victor Voitko

For beginners you might start with
Thread Reference by Leo Benkhe..The Magic City booklet series, around £2:50p
