Magic Tricks

I have been making these for years myself so I wanted to really give these some time before reviewing.

PROS:
_Excellent price over what has previously been available.
_Good quality and strength.
_The BIGGEST value is in the Tutorial. They give you so much information from usage, lighting, and backgrounds, to even manicuring your nails to prevent snagging. Some of these are things that took me quite some time to figure out, so I was extremely impressed with the value you get from these instructions. That alone is worth the price of the 10-Pack…maybe more in bands that you will keep from breaking if you follow their recommendations.

CONS:
_My biggest negative is that these are too visible for my taste. I know that you often lose some level of strength when you go with less visible versions, but there are some REALLY STRONG elastic threads out there that can accomplish all of the same effects without compromising visibility. I have darker skin, and these REALLY stand out on me. The ones that I make are so invisible that I lose them on my hand at times and care barely see it at all when it’s on my wrist. This is HUGE for me. I've actually had a spectator ask to see my hands after an effect and stared right at it but couldn't see a thing.
_The only other minor negative is that I wish they would have provided a better way to get into the “Get Ready” position. There are ways that are much more camouflaged that I would have liked to have seen them teach, especially considering the time they put into the other nuances. At one point they even recommend just flat out grabbing it with your fingers.

Overall though, this is a tremendous value and a great leap forward in lowering the cost of an amazing tool that will get you great reactions if used properly…especially given the excellent Tutorial. Best advice they give is “Less Is More”. Heed those words and you will create miracles! Unless you’re performing for children, it’s best to do something small and quick (but incredible) and keep it moving.
