Those Darn Lights
Next, to use invisible thread, you have to know how to use correct lighting. If you are a magician or just practicing to be one and you want to perform tricks with
invisible thread, remember that lighting is crucial. The two main factors to consider when using
thread reel are light source and clothing. Typically,
best conditions for a magic trick with invisible thread are cloudy days and
worst, direct lighting that comes from behind you. With this,
light will only reflect off
thread, thus being seen by
audience. For clothing, anything dark will serve as a backdrop for
thread, thus making it easier to see. For this reason, you should go with lighter, non-reflective type clothing. Magic is always fun and with some practice, you will soon learn a number of magic tricks with invisible thread, perfect for entertaining family and friends.
Methodology
The sixth of
seven magic trick tips using invisible thread has to do with methods of performing
tricks, such as
Hoop Pass. This is actually considered one of
greatest tricks you can do with
invisible thread reel, which involves passing a solid hoop over a bill. The key is to use a ring with a relatively thick stock, which will put less strain on
thread as it goes over
metal hoop. Lay
hoop on
thread so it is between you and
floating bill. Then, with your hand, scoop
ring through so
thread is now on
back of
left hand. Next, use
right hand to pass
hoop over
bill. To complete
trick, all you do is let
thread slide off from
back of your hand. Remember, this is just one of many methods used with
invisible thread, so have fun practicing them all.
Finishing
Show
The final tip is that whatever trick being performed using invisible thread and/or a reel, it should never kill
effect. In other words, you want to keep your audience wanting more. If you carry a trick on too far, you will lose
interest of
audience so it would be far better to keep
tricks short and sweet. In addition, put some meaning and emphasis in your performances to leave your audience with a memory of your magic ability. We recommend you use
invisible thread late in your show, which will end
performance on a fun note.
