Your hands are shown completely empty - fingers wide apart - before, during and after this effect!

EFFECT: Remove a 15" length of string, tear it into several small pieces and place them on a spectator's palm. Now gather the broken pieces, roll them into a ball, and proceed to unravel the fully restored string! Read that again. It sounds impossible. It looks impossible! It is impossible. But you do it and repeat it immediately - anytime, anywhere, under any conditions! Mike Wong's Dragon Thread comes with a professional shot video, complete with over the shoulder explanations. Also included is enough Dragon Thread for hundreds of performances. Forget the old way of performing Gypsy Thread - do it the WONG way! They hear and see the thread break! They hold the broken pieces while you show your hands empty! The thread never leaves their sight!

*No Lapping!
*No Palming!
*No Get-Ready!
*Repeats Immediately!

nice trick Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on March 16th, 2008
i got this one directly from Mike Wong at the Magic Castle swap meet. it is a very effective trick. i was able to do it within 10 minutes of watching the video. the video is good quality, and the trick is explained very well. however, to do it effectively, you will need a good hour or two of practice. the reason i give this one 4 stars is the price...all you are getting is some string (found at Walmart for 10 cents) and a short DVD. if you need a VERY good torn and restored ADD TO CART, otherwise try something a bit cheaper.

Great addition to my arsenal Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 29th, 2004
I have to admit, I knew nothing about torn and restored thread work before picking up this DVD. I was completely baffled by the Demo each time I watched it. After watching Mike Wong's excellent presentation and instruction I am confident I made a good investment and will, with some practice add an incredible piece of Magic to my working arsenal. Two words for you if you are even vaguley interested in this one 'Get it!'

Mike Wong's Dragon Thread Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 31st, 2004
Although other reviews say that this one needs practice, I would disagree. I got this one working right away. Also, the description above says there is no get-ready. In a sense, this is true, because your have got ready before you even begin the trick.
This is the first time I have bought a broken and restored thread trick and I don't think I will ever buy another one - this one is easy to execute and fools everyone (I mean, if you watch the demo, can you see how its done? No? thats just what I mean).

Pick this up! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 5th, 2013
Although the DVD is less than 15 minutes, that's all need and you get thorough instruction for this trick. It's very compact so it won't take up much pocket space at all. The illusion looks absolutely wonderful! I now prefer this method as opposed to the traditional one.

Over priced Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 5th, 2005
This is a good trick that most magicians should know how to do. However, it's a little pricey for what you get. This could have been taught as an instant download for less. If you don't know how to do a broken and restored thread trick, then go ahead and get this. Otherwise, spend your money on something else.

Visually stunning Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 23rd, 2005
This is very visual magic. Your hands are open, you tear the thread, and they really do see and hear it!!! You show that your hands are truly empty, then you pick up and unravel the restored thread. This will take some practice, but there are not a lot of complicated moves. This is well worth the investment in time and money. If you want a convincing torn and restored thread routine, buy it!

Sweet simplicity Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 7th, 2010
Dragon Thread is Mike Wong's handling of the torn and restored thread. This is a great effect for strolling magic as it is compact and has a limited reset. This is a big advantage over other handlings of the torn and restored thread. Mike Wong does an excellent job teaching each trick step-by-step. This is a true miracle with something so simple as a piece of thread.

It's unique. Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 3rd, 2010
This effect is great because it's a bit different- it's a great addition for anyone's act which is probably crammed full of too many card tricks.

The explanation is very well taught and the trick isn't too difficult to master. Go ahead and buy it!

Dragon Thread is hot Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 3rd, 2004
This is a fantastic effect which is totally self contained and repeatable. I agree that it will take some practice to get it right every time but it is worth it as the effect is practically angle proof. Mike Wong's performance and explanation are excellent and I would recommend this to anyone willing to put in some effort for an effect which you will use again and again.

Easy quick Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 3rd, 2012
I like this trick especially for strolling magic. I like that it can be reused a few times.

I don't like it as much as Gypsy Balloon by Tony Clark...but then again you can't do Gypsy Balloon on the fly...BTW if you don't have Gypsy Balloon you should get it...people bug me about how I do this trick the most. It is simply a beautiful trick.

But back to Dragon Thread: So if you want a trick that packs small and can be carried with you pretty much at all times...this is a good one.

A really good one.
