Loops New Generation (Set of 8) by Yigal Mesika

I bought this as a gift for a friend who loves magic, and he absolutely loved it. The quality is great, it works just as described, and it comes nicely packaged, which makes it perfect for gifting. Shipping was fast and the item arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique gift for someone who enjoys magic.

Skill Level: MEDIUM Pros: easily hidden, can take it anywhere, levitate and move borrowed objects, and instant reset. Cons: Gimmick breaks after a few uses. (Buy multiple). It's also background and lighting sensitive. This is my go to magic gimmick that I never the leave the house with. It gets great responses from the audience. Just a bit angle sensitive with lighting but I usually perform in dark environments which help out a lot.

My son had fun playing with these! They weren’t made as well as I expected, but for the price, they really weren’t too bad. They were entertaining and gave him something fun to play around with without spending a lot of money. Overall, a decent purchase for the price.

Broke the first 2 I tired to use. Watched the instruction video and that helped a ton. Now I have little fear of breaking. As for being visible, yes it is, under bright lights there’s a good chance someone may see it. I’ve found that most people are too busy looking at the levitating dollar. Haven’t been caught yet.

These broke after one trick. They can’t hold up a metal ring or heavier. They can’t even hold up a thick card. Only has 8 loops and all of them break in 5 min. It’s fun until they all break. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH FIFTEEN DOLLARS Not easy to use at all. You can also see them on your hand. They’re not invisible. Doesn’t fit on your hand and curl up. THESE ARE HORRIBLE QUALITY DO NOT BUY

If you are familiar with thread work this is a great gimmick. But the old loops I bought nearly 10 years ago worked way better and I feel we’re stronger. I’m assuming it was a thicker material and easier to see before and now even though it is tougher to see I believe they stretch out way too much. I bought these last week and I’m down to 1 more as of today. They are too delicate. Strong effects either way. 2 stars for the lack of strength. 5 stars for the gimmick and for what it use to be.

I started playing around with invisible string and magicians wax, which enabled me to levitate small objects, the problem was finding ways to carry and anchor it if you wanted to do any of these tricks while out with friends. Loops solved these problems. Simple wear one (or more) around your wrist and you will have access anytime and anywhere you choose to. You could make your own loops out of invisible thread but I'm willing to pay more to get around that hassle. As far as those complaining loops are not invisible. Well, if your being detected it's your own fault. The string is not a cloak, but it is undetectable if you follow some basic rules. 1. Don't use behind pure black or pure white backgrounds. Textured backgrounds with variation and patterns work best 2. Consider the lighting of the inviroment your in and position yourself correctly. When in a new environment I usually test for glare by stretching it out in front of me while others are not paying attention. 3. You should not levitate things for more than a few seconds, or repeatedly for the same person(s) If you follow these rules you will be 100% undetectable. Ive told people that I was using invisible thread and they still could not detect it.

If you never tried to do magic and wanted an easy trick that will have people amazed. Then this is the trick I personally would buy. I've bought many magic tricks and most of them I didnt spend enough time to get the slight of hand perfected. Which ruins the trick. This is not needed for this trick unless your a small child which i would say under 12 years old this will take practice. Your audience will find the tricks you perform with loops amazing and awesome. I hope my recomendation makes you as happy as i am with this purchase.
