Here are my personal thoughts on this effect:
This the best Gypsy thread routine I've ever seen, the best part that the spectators are doing the most of the work by themselves. Your hands look clean before and after. While the main method is not something new but using it in this context is new to me, if you work with s***** ****s you will be familiar with some moves here but not all of them. Personally, I don't think the kicker ending is needed, restoring the thread is more than enough to amaze the spectators. The Eugene Burger's presentation style can be applied here but the strength of this routine that you don't touch the thread except few touches here and there and they are justified in the routine very well. There are few moves need little practice to look natural but nothing is knuckle busting. I didn’t practice it yet, I don’t know if the unraveling process will work every time or sometimes the thread parts will tangle together. Cons *It is overpriced, better to buy the download version -if you can follow the instructions - and get the needed supplies online *It needs preparation , which you cannot do in-front of the spectators. *The unraveling process needs more practice. Pros *You can perform it surrounded. *It can play big for many spectators as you want or it can play small for only one person. *Most of the work is done by the spectator , this makes the routine more stronger. *No suspicious moves. *Sleights are easy, just need practice to make it look natural. *If you prepare enough threads the reset is instance. *Examinable before and after. *It is gimmickless (I mean the cutting and restoring part) *It can be a magicians’ fooler. Conclusion If you don’t perform any Gypsy Thread routine , you can get this or buy WGM The Gypsy Thread DVD. If you have your Gypsy Thread routine and you want to take it step further here you will go, if you are satisfied with your routine and it serves you well no need to waste more money on something looks similar to what you have already, believe me spectators will not see any difference between this and the old methods even if the method here is better. I appreciate the thinking in this routine and the brilliant method. Javi is a brilliant thinker and talented performer, I think calling him the fat version of Shin Lim is not fair at all, he is better than that .
