Hi guys

My ITR has broke for my folding dollar, can anybody tell me or PM me with the type of ITR that is used for this effect as im not sure which it is im supposed to use. the standard one is to weak

Put quite simply, the best to use is strong, thin fishing filament.

I have tried using a few different ITs, and there is nothing more embarrasing than a snap during performance, when the note just sits there and does nothing. I even tried extra-strong IT, but I was using a £10 note, and at one point the strain was a little too much.

The reason I recommend the fishing filament method is because if done properly, it can't be seen anyways.

A small tip: to de-gloss the filament so it's less reflective and therefore more invisible, pass it through a sheet of folded fine grade wet-n-dry sandpaper.

Thanks for that tip Seige

cheers mate

i'll try that

If you can get 'transparent nylon', rub it with some sandpaper to take the sheen off it, and then stroke it with a black permanent marker. This is supposed to work well, although I've never tried it. I'm guessing the transparent nylon is pretty similar to fishing line, just a bit thinner.

The black Sharpie trick is great for regular IT, but it's effects aren't desirable in the folding bill effect, unfortunately.

But good shout, colouring IT with a black marker DOES decrease its' invisibility!
