Does anybody have any resources regarding invisible threads and magician waxes?
One of my biggest concern is how to attach the invisible thread to the wax securely.
Mine keep coming off.

Hi there.

If the wax you are using is a tad soft, ie the thread cuts through the wax - try using a tiny piece of cotton thread, and wrap it in the ball of wax. Then wind your IT around the ball a few times and press.
The IT will be wrapped around the little piece of thread (and wax), and will hold more securely than when just using wax.

Wow that's an amazing idea! Thanks a lot for the guidance! Do you also happen to know any good guide for loops/itr/invisible threads? I wanted to get venom but it's not in production anymore

You're very welcome. The idea isn't mine, but I can't actually remember where I picked it up.

I'm not sure about current resources regarding IT or IET, its years since I've used the stuff- apart from the occasional PK touches routine.

@Doug,

On the top menu, you'll see thread and loops (and fake coins) that Eddie sells.

I should have posted the complete URL to his thread, my apologies.

That's ther best deal I've seen on Invisible Elastic thread. But ya know, Invisible Thread is quite different from Invisible Elastic thread! Smile

Yup, it's elastic. Since the OP mentioned loops in their second post, thought I'd pass it along.
