I have the LeClair tape and think it's a great way to get your feet wet. Hope to pick up the book sometime.

Just to see how everyone is doing with this. Ill bump it. Also I'm looking for a stronger more resistance thread. I have the Spool that I bought from Craig Dickson a while about 2 years ago, and its still more then ill ever need but I was looking for something a bit stronger. not elastic but stronger. Any ideas or links would be great. Other then that I really like the LeClair hook up.

There is a 2 vol. DVD set out on loops by Finn Jon (the inventor) and Mesika that Stevens Magic has. This would be hard to beat.

No I know about those and am planning for that later, but I'm talking about just regular IT. Not elastics. I like having backups

Loops are different then the LeClair hookup.
Shimshi's DVD( he was the stand out performer on Mondo Magic ) Magic Up-Close by Shimshi is an incredible DVD and he uses the LeClair hookup. Mad Hatter has it. Go here to view a clip: http://www.madhattermagicshop.com/magics......59d9e94d

Chris get out of my head bro. LOL ive had that DVD for a few months now (SHimshi), and I am working on the routine, but the Thread I got from Dicksons site works good but I tend to snap it more often then not and I'm have an issue with the around the back and back around portion. So I was wondering if there are other options.

I have the book and although I am not all the way through it I already think it is great. I feel it is much easier to learn IT from a book than a video.

My experience with IT so far is, that it is a highly personalized thing. Meaning that you need to develop your own take of it to match your body language and so forth. No DVD can do that for you.

Does LeClair's video only deal with elastic thread, or is the LeClair hookup also possible with regular thread?

The LeClair hook-up uses regular IT, not elastic thread. Highly recommended!!

John leClair DVD is about invisible thread but covers only his hookup.
Ammar volumes are the Encyclopedia of thread, covers many hookups etc... The DVD about thread that I love is Magic Up-Close by Shimshi - covers leClair hookup and great effects and includes bonus tips. He works in real environments and I highly recommend this one. It's only my opinion. All the best |

The LeClair video uses thread harvested from pantyhose/tights - I thought that LeClair makes a point of saying that he likes the thread to have some elasticity? (presumably, unlike regular I.T.?) Is the thread he uses perhaps more elastic than regular thread (= wooly nylon), but less elastic than elastic thread?

I use wooly nylon for the LeClair hookup and find that it has a slight bit of stretch, or elasticiy, before reaching the breaking point. Not much, but enough to give you a little warning before breaking. I think that just that little bit of stretch is what Jon is referring to.

Anyone has Shimshi thread that he sells?
I bought it and I never saw a non elastic thread like this - Thinnest strong and VERY invisible (not shiny) thread I got my hands on. The best I found in some 10 years of magic. I highly recommend it if you wanna take it for a try. Cheers |

The video is really good.
I bought it on VHS then I rebought it on DVD. Can be found different kinds of effects and that's pretty insteresting. One thin I never understood is why its called LeClair's hook since it is to much similar to me than the hook used by Kaps on his floating cork but Kaps used the mouth instead the ear. Is interesting how this can be an appreciative change to rename something, anyway Kaps cork was not created by Kaps but he mastered it as nobody. Innteresting how the things get the names pretty confusing as the Himber ring for example, Kaps cork, Leclairs Hook and the list goes on. For me was a discovering that Jennings didn't create the hanging coins as was Ramsay who did it, I had my own handling on this and I never have said nothing but Jenning 's hanging coins on my way. |

I love it, but I prefer his book The art of invisible thread. Much more content there and very easy to follow. I use this hook up more than any other. Get the book its worth every penny.
