The Effect 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!

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.

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.

Over priced

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

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!
