Hi Ben,
I work a lot with IT of every kind. I´d like to hear your thoughts about the subject. Do you have any tips for us thread workers? |

Hi Thiago,
I love thread work too. But there are some things I HATE about the stuff. In many ways, what I love and hate about thread work have directly influenced the magic I create with the product. Example: My pet HATE about thread magic is controlling the ends. It's usually fiddly and there are better things to concentrate on. So, this in mind, I decided that all my thread magic would ELIMINATE THE ENDS OF THREAD from the equation. Look at Cosmosis and Zoom. Both are thread effects and both have the "ends of the thread" problem addressed. I love looking out for different threads. Ones that have not as yet been discovered and applied to magic. Check out the fine threads used in micro-surgery, for example. Cheers mate and keep playing with that thread! Ben Harris

I too have often wondered about surgical threads. Not having ever been able to get any, I can't say how to use them for magic. Can they be obtained?

Hiya,
Yes, all these things can be obtained. You just need to look in the right places. Surgical Supplies in you local city should be able to help. The only draw back may be a hefty minimum purchase. Good luck BH
