Does anybody know how to dump the Steve Fearson hookup without breaking the IT? If anybody knows could you PM me. thanks

Any comments on Penguin Magic's new system for making "Hoops" (rhymes with----). See link here: http://www.penguinmagic.com/product.php?ID=551

If you want to watch some really amazing thread work check out Ryusei Kamaguchi's
butterfly routine at:

Who else has seen Dean Dill's floating ring routine? I would like to learn more about it.

A thought on the IT and I have used a lot - without trouble.

It’s OK if someone thinks its thread, but shame on you if they find out for sure!

Ok Floating things...
I own two of Stefan Schütsers "The Ultimate Float Control", (TUFC for short) With this I can make miracles. One of my favorite things (using one TUFC) to do with it is the flying bill. A bill is borrowed and signed, ask the spectator to hold his/her hand out place the bill on her hand and tell her to put one finger on it using the other hand. Now I will back up 10m (if space allows), tell her that I will count to 3 and she will remove her finger. When she removes her fingers the bill will come FLYING back to me.
Owning two TUFC me and my assistant used to do the #D floating silk.

If you don't own a TUFC but still want to do some great levitation AND animation I strongly recommend Stefans "Self floating folding bill" is's a real killer.

Hello all!

Great to see Ron Jaxon posting here, as IMHO, he is an authority on the subject of IT.

That said, I've been using IT since I bought the "Wunderbar" at Steve Dacri's shop in Worcester Mass, so many years ago.

Floating objects DOES seem to "give it away", especially when it swings. Even on TWO anchor points, I find trouble more often than not.

IT does lend itself to other, non-floating effects, Haunted Pack, Static Charge, among others. LeClair's hookup seems to be the best for me.

Anyone ever seen the book "The I.T. Manual", by Ralph Wichmann? Not sure where to get it, but is one of the best info sources on the subject.

Nice to join you! Hope to find further enlightenment in the Magic Café!
