Loops New Generation (Set of 8) by Yigal Mesika

Skill Level: MEDIUM Pros: easily hidden, can take it anywhere, levitate and move borrowed objects, and instant reset. Cons: Gimmick breaks after a few uses. (Buy multiple). It's also background and lighting sensitive. This is my go to magic gimmick that I never the leave the house with. It gets great responses from the audience. Just a bit angle sensitive with lighting but I usually perform in dark environments which help out a lot.

I bought this as a gift for a friend who loves magic, and he absolutely loved it. The quality is great, it works just as described, and it comes nicely packaged, which makes it perfect for gifting. Shipping was fast and the item arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a unique gift for someone who enjoys magic.

I bought these loops in hopes of them being easy to use, and ultimately, achieving tricks that can be performed either closely or moderately far away from the audience. I needed a trick that required a rudimentary setup, but it was enough to wow people. For me personally, though I have yet to perform any of the tricks to an audience yet, the floating bill trick met the criteria. It is simple, and extremely fun to perform. Meskia also does a good job explaining each of the 3 tricks. The loops exceeded my expectations in terms of durability as by looking at them, I expected them to break very easily. (I haven't really used much force yet, so we'll see how it goes.) They're pretty good loops, but the one thing that disappointed me is the 'patented loop saver.' It's a joke. It does not protect your loops in any way. In fact, one of my loops came broken and another one snapped when I tried to retrieve it like how Mesika retrieves them in the video, which is by pinching the sides of the loop saver inward. I am down to 6 loops on the first day, though they are supposed to last a month. I really wouldn't call them 'value for money', but they do allow for pretty decent tricks.

Broke the first 2 I tired to use. Watched the instruction video and that helped a ton. Now I have little fear of breaking. As for being visible, yes it is, under bright lights there’s a good chance someone may see it. I’ve found that most people are too busy looking at the levitating dollar. Haven’t been caught yet.

These broke after one trick. They can’t hold up a metal ring or heavier. They can’t even hold up a thick card. Only has 8 loops and all of them break in 5 min. It’s fun until they all break. DEFINITELY NOT WORTH FIFTEEN DOLLARS Not easy to use at all. You can also see them on your hand. They’re not invisible. Doesn’t fit on your hand and curl up. THESE ARE HORRIBLE QUALITY DO NOT BUY

If you are familiar with thread work this is a great gimmick. But the old loops I bought nearly 10 years ago worked way better and I feel we’re stronger. I’m assuming it was a thicker material and easier to see before and now even though it is tougher to see I believe they stretch out way too much. I bought these last week and I’m down to 1 more as of today. They are too delicate. Strong effects either way. 2 stars for the lack of strength. 5 stars for the gimmick and for what it use to be.

i bought my set about a year ago and ive only seemed to snap one and lose the other but don’t acknowledge the bad reviews if yk what magic thread is and know how to use it, ive used them over and over and only broke one doing a trick where the item was too heavy just know the limits and they will continue to wow people (note: these are wayy stronger and stretchier than the elastics ive used back in the day id give this product six stars if i could

I started playing around with invisible string and magicians wax, which enabled me to levitate small objects, the problem was finding ways to carry and anchor it if you wanted to do any of these tricks while out with friends. Loops solved these problems. Simple wear one (or more) around your wrist and you will have access anytime and anywhere you choose to. You could make your own loops out of invisible thread but I'm willing to pay more to get around that hassle. As far as those complaining loops are not invisible. Well, if your being detected it's your own fault. The string is not a cloak, but it is undetectable if you follow some basic rules. 1. Don't use behind pure black or pure white backgrounds. Textured backgrounds with variation and patterns work best 2. Consider the lighting of the inviroment your in and position yourself correctly. When in a new environment I usually test for glare by stretching it out in front of me while others are not paying attention. 3. You should not levitate things for more than a few seconds, or repeatedly for the same person(s) If you follow these rules you will be 100% undetectable. Ive told people that I was using invisible thread and they still could not detect it.
