We just got these in today, I was surprised no topic existed for this.
You can checkout out here http://www.saturnmagic.co.uk/new-magic/v......son.html This is the one you've been waiting for. It's the first invisible thread reel designed by the Master of Levitations, Steve Fearson. And it's unlike anything you've seen before. The Vectra Cobra Electronic Invisible Thread Reel is the first electronic reel designed specifically with the power of Vectraâ„¢ in mind. The Cobra is strong enough to harness the full power of Vectra, taking it to it's limit without breaking the thread. And it works with Original Vectra thread AND Vectra X2! What could you do with a device that can release and retract up to 40 feet of the legendary Vectra Invisible Thread? The Vectra Cobra Reel can do exactly that. Release huge lengths of the powerful Vectra thread and the Cobra retrieves it for you, perfectly coiled and ready to strike again and again. ImageCOMPACT AND STEALTHY - The Cobra is about the size of a pack of gum and can hide in a card box, cigarette pack or an Altoids container with room to spare. This means you can actually perform with the reel in your hands and no one will suspect a thing! Take a mint from a tin and levitate it into your mouth. Float a cigarette from a box or a card from a card case. The Cobra can be hidden inside all of them... HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT! AUTOMATIC LOCKING - With a Thread Bullet at it's core, the Cobra can be set to release a predetermined length of thread and then stop, automatically locking and allowing you to perform with the preset length under NO TENSION. This gives you maximum control during your performance. The reel can then be activated to secretly retrieve your length of thread, while remembering it's locking position for the next performance. This device does everything you've come to expect from a reel and more. But there's something else the Cobra can do that puts it in a class by itself. THE COBRA IS MODULAR AND EXPANDABLE - The device has no built-in switch, instead it has a port. Switches are interchangeable giving you multiple options for activation and operation depending on your performance needs. Activate the reel with the push of a button, the wave of a hand or with no perceivable movement at all. It's up to you! The Vectra Cobra offers you complete control during a performance by allowing you to switch it on and off secretly and precisely using a variety of modules or switches. MODULE #1 - Simple On / Off Switch This switch plugs into the Cobra and allows you to activate it with the push of a button. You can use this switch to discreetly reel in thread after a performance and it comes in handy when setting up the reel or loading it with different thread. MODULE #2 - Press-On / Press-Off Switch This switch allows you to work in "always on" mode, turning your Cobra into a standard thread reel. The thread will always be under tension, ready to retract into the reel at any time. You can do all the routines you would normally perform with a traditional reel. MODULE #3 - Gravity Tilt Switch This switch can be plugged into the side of the Cobra and will allow you to activate and deactivate the motor by tilting the reel. It's the same type of switch that's used in a mobile device or tablet to detect which way the screen is being held. This tiny, sensitive switch is easy to activate with no visible button to worry about. You can use this when the reel is concealed in a box or tin and activate it with an imperceptible tilt. All three switches can also be used remotely by attaching the simple extension wire. For example, the Mercury switch could be attached to your arm while the reel remains hidden in a pocket. In this way you can precisely control the activation of the reel with empty hands. BONUS MODULE - The Sidewinder This ingenious module allows you to use the Cobra with no pockets, short sleeves and empty hands... and still maintain complete control over the device, turning it off and on at ease with no suspicious moves. This little guy is going to BLOW YOU AWAY, you'll really feel like Spiderman when you're using this rig! UNLIMITED POTENTIAL The Vectra Cobra is able to evolve and adapt to meet your every need. The base unit and the "stock" switches can be used in endless ways and that's just the beginning. Since the reel is modular there is no limit to what we can achieve with it in regards to increasing it's functionality. Here's a taste of what we're working on! Digital timer module. Set the reel to activate at a predetermined time. RF remote control module. Control your reel from across the room. In-line tension control. Dial in the tension you desire. The design makes it easy to hack the device and create your own modules and switches. Toe switches, motion switches and the like can all be easily adapted to fit your device. Several ideas are included. ROUTINES INCLUDED Besides Floating Candy, Cards and Cigarettes you will learn how to... Move very large or heavy objects from a distance! (Example video) Cause bills, silks and more to slither across the room and rise to your fingertips! Perform a super-clean vanish that will leave them scratching their heads! YOUR PACKAGE INCLUDES The Vectra Cobra Reel (base unit) Module - On/Off Switch (push-button intermittent) Module - On/Off Switch (press to stay on) Module - Mercury Tilt Switch Bonus - The Sidewinder Gimmick Remote Extention Cable and Wrist Strap 2 Vectraâ„¢ Thread Bullets ($20 separately) Vectraâ„¢ X2 Stage thread ($20 separately) Fearson's Master Wax - Black ($8 separately) HD Tutorial Featuring Steve Fearson Requires one AA battery not included Update: Package now includes access to a private Cobra owners forum where you can share module hacks, tips and routines with other users from around the globe. Every Cobra is assembled with care by Fearson himself, pre-loaded with Vectra line and tested TWICE to guarantee it will be working perfectly upon arrival. These sell out quickly, get yours today!

I have yet to try this but having watched a lot of the video explanation this is very versatile.
You could mount it in most places where you would have a normal ITR and in others not possible with a normal ITR. You get a bullet spool of Vectra which is renowned for being strong and some of the stage thread which you would be very hard pushed to break in normal use, the stage thread is still actually quite invisible as well but obviously not as much as the Vectra. This looks like a very easy system to use and recover if you do break the thread. I love the remote options for activating this so you can use this in many different ways.

So anyone else got some experience with this thing yet? Can it float a bill as still without bumping like the spider pen?

Sounds like the bonus module allows a remote control operation.
My ex-cat was named "Muffin". "Vomit" would be a better name for her. AKA "The Evil Ball of Fur".

I'm curious too, any reviews for this ITR? I'm just learning about it today. How does it stack up against Deck-TR?
The performance is what really makes it all worth while.

Sounds interesting... I know Steve has said in the past that he is not a fan of "electronic gimmicks" when it comes to thread work (especially when talking about his Thread Bullets). Looks like he may have added some features to this to make it worthwhile.

This is excellent in my opinion. Great device, awesome in operation. I use the Trigger Setup where you can activate the reel with a snap of your fingers.
Had lots of fun with this. Also the device is easy to maintain, much better than conventional reels. Replacing the battery or the thread bullet is super-easy and straight-forward. I've been through a lot of reels, and for me this one is by far the best. If you have any additional questions, please send me a PM, I don't wanna leak more internals about this phantastic device in the open space here. |

Ideal for Fearsons hook up system.more noisier than the spider pen,if you like the spider pen bill levitation I would stick to using the spider pen as this one is not as smooth,but on the whole easier to maintain snapped thread,i will be using this cobra reel for my Fearsons hook up

Great in theory. In practice, this breaks fast. A lot of tweaks are necessary for version2.

I found it to be really easy to manage especially with bills and silks. Tip with the silks is to use diamond cuts as they're lighter. Didn't find it noisy at all to be honest. He has deals on his site so best to buy it directly: http://www.emagicsupply.com/index.php?ma......0rj45ru4
The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love & be loved in return.

Any more updates on this one? I have a Spider Pen and it works reasonably well (yes, hard to reset if thread breaks). The promo video is okay. None of the examples except the floating dollar looked great. Why did they need 12 examples of something lifting off the floor to your hand?
