There's some discussion about it here. Haven't been any updates for awhile though.

No mention of "Tarantula"

Any new updates?

I just got some information about Tarantula. It looks like it will be coming out next month. Meanwhile, here's a demo of it. Take a look at what he does with the borrowed ring.

Tarantula looks amazing, nice magic indeed.
I love the idea of having the ring end up back on the spectator's finger.

Nice thing, the ring.
It's that sort of visual magic, I like.

So I'll wait for next month

So, why did it just tell me that "this video is no longer available" when I tried to watch it?

Steve

I can still see it. Chk your computer setting.

Is "Tarantula" a new product, or it is a trick included with the new spider pen??

This looks great!!! Yigal is a master of thread work. I'm sure this will be a big seller!!!

Wow. I just watched this and felt like a kid who just saw Disneyland. The demo says borrow a ring...well is it just me or did it appear to be the same ring throughout the demo? It also appeared to be fairly large on each girls' fingers.

I was about to drop some money on magic though...but I'm saving up for this...

It would be nice to use their ring but I would rather use my own. If the thread breaks I don't want the lady's ring to get scratched.

Anyone know the price, $?

The haunted deck on the floor is exactly like spooked. Hope Nick Einhorn is happy with this...

I just got a chance to play with the Tarantula and it is really cool! These will be available in a couple weeks so keep your eyes open at your favorite Magic Dealer world wide. I think those of you who like to use the spider pen or other ITR's will really like this alternative.

A different method may be in play here and besides Spooked never pushed the card that far out anyway. Tarantula appears to do so.

Spooked has always pushed a card that far out, and can push a card furthur if it wants to.

Bravo. You have a buyer in me

Had the same question about the ring being the same throughout the video. Doesn't take away from the effect though - I love doing the floating ring, but being able to spin it like that and have it hover looks light years better to me. (Movement always seems to get a better reaction than a static levitation.)

For anyone who has used it - (DavidPeters) you mentioned the spider pen, is the Tarantula electric as well?

Just out of curiousity, whats the difference between Spider Pen and the Tarantula? Is this just an updated version of the original? Also, I heard that some people had trouble with the Spider Pen (original) breaking. Is this one more durable? Any idea on price?

Like the price! I thought this would be twice as much!
