Hey I just got some thread bullets from www.emagicsupply.com this is the first time I've used them and they are pretty cool. They're non mechanical so there's really nothing to break and they come monofilament so there's no hassle of stripping threads. I used one to refill my tarantula with Vectra thread and it only took about three or four minutes to put over 20 feet on the spool. I saved the other thirty for other things. I also got the DVD on the thread bullets because I've never used them before. The DVD was great and taught a few hookups that I didn't know. Most were directly using the bullets as a non mechanical retraction system. My favorite was a hookup for a floating ring that looked really magical, no rotation at all and the ring floats from hand to hand and then hovers between them and the ring is dropped onto the spectator's hand without breaking the thread and the hookup resets instantly.
I also got a bit of each color of the Fearson's wax. My favorite is the black because I usually anchor to the shirt button and most of my shirts have black buttons so the wax is invisible. Plus it blends nicely with dark surroundings. The red and blue are really good because they blend well so there's no telltale signs of trickery while doing the helicopter card. I also got the flesh colored which blends really well. I like this kind of wax because so far with my practicing it hasn't left any detectable residue so I feel comfortable handing out the deck after doing the haunted deck. It's also a bit hard so it can hold up the increased weight that the Vectra can handle. I look forward to performing with this stuff.

I heard from a friend that anecdotal evidence is actually quite reliable. |
