This isnt a review.

IF you want IT, you can buy it at most magic shops, on and off the internet.

Lilchris - just a quick, friendly tip...

Before starting any new topic, it's always a good idea to use the Search function (at the top of each page here), as you can practically guarantee that the topic will have been covered before.

I ran a search for you (which took me 30 seconds), and came up with this, straight away: http://www.talkmagic.co.uk/ftopic19199-0-0-asc-.php

One other pointer, which will help you out on this forum - "I just want 2 know"; please try not to use text speak here, as many members don't like it, and will simply ignore your posts, if you can't be bothered to use correct grammar.

Hope this is of use! :D

All the best,

Rob

Well....not strictly correct; in the UK, it's certainly possible to get it in both white and black (that's IT, and not IET, which I've only ever known to come in white/clear - or tan, if you strip your own :wink: )

And - yes...it IS possible to make your own, as well as buy it (ever tried stripping dental floss or wooley nylon?), but, for the hassle it causes, most folks just prefer to buy the stuff :D

Indeed, at NUMS I am just taking stock of different coloured IT to suit different situations.

Generally, IT is clear, tho.

Interesting. At my local stores and internet stores all I have seen is black and clearish. I would really see no reason for colored thread.


I never said he couldnt make it his own. I just suggest to buy it.

I will stick with the black. Never had a problem, probably never will.

Rob tried to tell you that exact same thing.

By the time you've wasted hours or days trying to make your own, you'd have been far better just saving up an purchasing some.

In the meanwhile, use some regular cotton thread to practice, and just imagine how the effect would look if you couldn't see it.

There's nothing more to see here, move along... :lol:
