I thought I read somewhere on this site that someone (seige maybe) had ordered the T.I.E.S. loop factory. Anybody have an opinion on it. The price seems a bit up there but if you can really easily and quickly produce these thousands (not at once of course) of loops then it seems well woth it seeming how one pack of loops is up to 10 bucks for 5 loops. Would greatly appreciate your feedback or opinions. Thanks.

I have indeed ordered the 'ties' system. I have heard a few good comments, and being honest, the ability to be able to tie elastic loops of ANY size appeals to me.

I use elastic thread for card gaffing, hinge making, rising card effects - I've even adopted large elastic loops for other 'floating' effects.

I will post a more revealing review here in due course, once I've received the goods.

has this arrived yet seige? *curious as hell*... heh heh heh

Nope.

Getting increasingly anxious, as it was part of a £150 order - of which I've seen nothing after a week or so.

I think I'll give it until Monday, and either rattle their cage or cancel.

Either way - I want my TIES (crying sound... )

hmmm have heard of this thing happening before when ordering from the states... it takes ages to arrive then when it does a week or so later a duplicate order arrives again but credit card only shows one payment.. a guy at work got a $600 digital camera twice!

all im saying is... remember your old pal mog... heh heh heh

Blimey...

Never had that happen!

I got someone else's porcelain doorknobs from Screwfix Direct once, and got to keep them - but I'd rather have a camera...

I'll bear you in mind if I get a double-up!!!

I think that most of the delay is caused by the weight - I order 48 decks of Bicycle Cards at the same time (cos they were going cheap as a bulk-load), which probably weigh a ton...

48??????? what the hell do you plan to do with 48???

hehhehheh

Maybe he's working on a new 'Torn but not quite restored' trick?

They were going cheap... works out about £1 per-deck. Can't grumble at that!!! I get through about 12 decks a month anyway... so it's a four month supply.

They're assorted red/blue backs, too.

Actually, I've got enough to make LOTS of forcing decks !!!

so has TIES come yet???? i wanna know!!!!!!... heh heh heh

No TIES.

Getting more fed up by the day.

I'll keep you posted...

not being a card man myself this is probably a stupid question

but how can you get through so many decks are you folding them in half eating them then sh**ing them out completely restored

slipped in to david blain mode from bo selecta then sorry, still 12 packs perhapse you just smoke them

OK... it breaks down like this:

1: Approx 3 decks ruined through performances with burns, signatures, handouts and beer/wine damage

2: 2 decks sacrificed in the aid of practice - shuffling etc.

3: Approx 2 decks killed as donors for my own gaffs - cutting cards up etc.

4: About 3 decks given out with signatures on as 'business cards'. Works well... people don't lose them!

5: Always a couple of decks get lost

That equals 12, roughly per month.

Maybe it's obsessive compulsive disorder.

Or maybe I AM eating them... the Eat and Sh%$ Restored sounds like a good idea.

Can you get your audience to hang around for at least 6 hours though? That's one helluva routine if you can!

thanks for the erm break down

just goes to show a cardy needs a heck of alot of cards

still i can go through 60+ modeling ballons in a session so i should of guessed.

whats up with you people dont you know its midnight
