Yigal Mesika LOOPS or Elastics?

Postby Freestyler » Apr 30th, '12, 02:45



I've been doing magic publically since July last year, and now i've come to that stage now where i feel confident and i want to up it a level. So I'm going to invest in some EIT..

What is the best EIT to use?

I want to be performing haunted deck, card springing/jumping out the deck into my hand etc, I'm not really to fussed about moving forks, coins, cards about yet. But if any of the above do the same job that would be brilliant aswell.

Which is the easiest to use?
Do any of them require wax?

I'll be honest, I'm completely clueless on this subject and would appreciate any help. I haven't done alot of homework on this but I've seen LOOPS and Elastics, i don't know what the difference is really.

Any help much appreciated, thanks :)

hi freestyle i think the best elastics out there at the moment is loops because they are so easy to use after you have got used to them but they do break quite easily if you have never used them before with the difference if that loops are elastic loops and elastics is just a long piece of invisible elastic thread.

from men's underware called Hanes you can get rather nice invisible elastic threads. Work with it to gain the pieces.
waist band type.
also try this link below go to Stretch/Elastic.

From ladies black hose Leggs brand -you can get invisible threads-also got to your car junk yard and get yourself the bleck safety belts the IT is very strong, take your time to pull out individual strands.

Invis T is a pain in the bottom, elastic properties or not. It is a pain, be warned. Also haunted deck, having a card pop out of a deck? Can be done with a lot less fuss and muss than IT. I can get a card to boomering out of a deck over a few spectors and catch it when it comes back, without a gimmick.

Just saying.
