"When you first showed me these, I was blown away by the quality. Now I never leave home without them! Endless possibilities!" - Dynamo

"Just like a great TIE completes a great outfit; a TIE is the invisible asset that completes a great commando performer. It's the perfect advance prep for a powerful 'impromptu' performance - always out of sight, but always available, giving you the ability to go beyond sleight of hand at any time, in any place. Magic utilizing threads become truly amazing when it seems absolutely impossible for you to have access to such a thing. Now, thanks to TIES, the power of magic is literally in your hands." - Michael Ammar

"TIES are my everyday carry so I can always perform a miracle. TIES are priced right, great quality, and the instructional video is top notch." - Nathan Kranzo

"I have started using TIES in my professional trade show work. Recommended!" - Chad Long

"Penguin Magic has released TIES (The Invisible Elastic System)... superb quality but priced so you don't worry about losing a few while practicing and, more importantly, feeling confident using them in actual performance." - Brad Christian, Ellusionist

20 years ago, Penguin Magic introduced TIES to professional magicians. It was an instant hit, but it was expensive and required you to literally tie your own elastic thread. It completely sold out, and some pros still swear by it. But since then, we've figured out how to make TIES more affordable, portable and convenient by packaging them into ready-to-go packs. Today, we're proud to announce ready-to-use TIES.

Levitate, animate, and transform the world around you with an invisible elastic system that allows you to perform some of the most visual magic on earth. Always ready to go, this is the new part of your everyday carry that will never leave your wrist. This is the gimmick that is going to make you feel like you have super powers, suit up with TIES: The Invisible Elastic System. TIES is a project that has been years in the making. TIES is an invisible elastic thread you can wear on your wrist, around your neck, or even hide in plain sight on props you already own so that you can perform incredibly visual magic. This invisible elastic system has been worn, and perfected, by members of the Penguin Magic team who will share with you never before seen handlings and thread hook ups that create stunning moments.

Effects:

When you receive this invisible elastic system in the mail, you will receive 10 TIES ready to go right out of the box. Along with TIES, you receive a comprehensive training system featuring Nick Locapo, Cash Wallace, Travis Askew, Seth Race, Nick Popa, and Nathan Kranzo to give you training on dozens of effects to start performing right away.

Learn to float common objects like bills, receipts, chapstick, rubberbands, and playing cards. Using your psycho kinetic powers you’ll animate a knife so that it finds a selected card from a spread. Balance a water bottle on its edge, and then have it fall at your command. Perform the standing card on your cell phone. Borrow and float a spectator’s ring. Have a piece of popcorn fly from your hand and into your mouth. You will learn to perform all this, and more, with TIES.

TIES come preset on The Tie Rack so you can carry extra TIES with you wherever you go. They are easy to use, create high impact magic, and are the most affordable way to levitate, animate, and transform the world around you. Suit up with the gimmick you’ll never leave the house without, TIES: The Invisible Elastic System.

GREAT OVERALL VALUE AND EXCELLENT INSTRUCTIONS Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 28th, 2022
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.

You will break a few Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 9th, 2022
(This review is for TIES: The Invisible Elastic System)
Ok, so they are in my opinion even harder to see than other brands which is a good thing. I will say however I have broken about three of these just "trying" to play with them so not sure what to say yet. Luckily I bought the 32 pack and I'll try some more but at first glance...they appear to be quite "fragile"

Dress up and put on a TIE! Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 4th, 2022
Let me just say, I've never used IT before. I never was really into it and never thought about it until now.

I've been working with the same TIE for a couple of days now. I've had it on my wrist for several hours and it hasn't broken yet.

I love the idea of floating a dollar bill especially being borrowed. Something you can carry on you at all times and you're ready to go.

I'm having a lot of fun with this. Highly recommend.


Hope that helps,
TMC

I’m a fan of these Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 9th, 2022
Ok I know everyone is having the same question I had when it comes to ties vs those other elastic bands. In my opinion these feel a bit stronger and after a few hours of playing with them they seemed to not stretch out as much as the other brand. These held their shape a little better in my opinion.

Inconsistent Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 21st, 2022
(This review is for TIES: The Invisible Elastic System)
The ties I have tend to work either really well or break insanely early. During the “warm up” process, half of the ties don’t warm up and just break. The other half of them work great. I wish there was a little more consistency between each individual unit.

Otherwise, these are great. In the right environment, these little things are miracle workers.

Good enough Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 4th, 2022
(This review is for TIES: The Invisible Elastic System)
This is a good enough product but has very limited use. You use up a few just learning how to use it. When ordering, i t makes sense to buy more than 10.

Good Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 26th, 2022
I've always made my own 'ties'. These are more visible as far as thickness, but they have a little less shine. That said, the quality is not bad at all and you won't get this value anywhere else. Definitely workable, and the quality of the instructional video is worth double the price tag you pay for it with the gimmicks. I recommend purchasing this just for the ideas in the project and the backups.

Ties made my day Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 15th, 2022
(This review is for TIES: The Invisible Elastic System)
I have tried other brands and found TIES hold up. The training videos hosted by Nick Locapo and other magicians are excellent and improved my personal performances, plus I did learn a few new technics I am now incorporating as regulars. For newcomers, get comfortable with your TIES, Sacrifice a few by wearing them everywhere. You will learn TIES limits, what item you cannot have on with TIES and most important WHAT WILL SNAG & BREAK your TIES. I get several performances out of my TIES now. Have fun and impress Everyone!

Strong, fairly invisible and great video Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on October 17th, 2022
I really like the ties they are pretty strong. I can float my fairly heavy gold wedding band.

I have 2 small issues:

1) have noticed, at least on the pack of ties I received, sometimes the ties are doubled up on the Tie Rack. This makes them much more visible.

2) the video is excellent but failed to mention the type of cards to use. Use a busy dark or black back and a busy and or black front. Doing thread work with Bicycles can sometimes be a problem due to their white edge. I do it sometimes, but you are asking to be exposed. I carry a specific deck I use for ties.

I would also like to mention that they have excellent thread advice at the beginning and end. I don't know why they didn't edit it to be all in the beginning.

These ties are a real good value compared to others and seem to be stronger. They open up a lot of awesome routines.

TIES Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on September 21st, 2022
This product is just a bit stronger than a similar product I'd been using for a long time. That "little bit" give me a "big" advantage in using an invisible elastic thread.
