Real out of the box thinking. It's on Vol. 3 of his DVD set.

Scott Penrose does a version with flash string (separate out one of the strands) which is nice because at the end all the evidence just disappears

Actually, the effect was initially a burned and restored thread effect. It is described as such in Mahatma at the end of the XIXth century

I feel that Eugene Burger's handling and presentation on the Greater Magic tape is just wonderful.

Gaetan Bloom also has a very nice version for a large audience of children (and with just thread, it has always seemed to me like a feat)

How about "The Hindu Thread Trick often referred to as The Gypsy Thread" booklet? This was written and Photographed by Lewis Ganson. The copy I have has a copyright notice in it dated 1980. There are 5 chapters for a total of 24 pages.

It's a very elegant routine, although I'm not sure I like the use of the flashes in two places.

Just something I was pondering... Rick

I too seem late to this thread, but alas here are my two cents: I love the idea of a flash string gypsy thread, such as the one by Henry Evans, but if you perform it that way even twice a night for 3 or 4 nights a week, it gets to be one expensive effect.
Ever since I learned the Gypsy Thread when I was younger, I have always told a story, along the lines of the way Eugene Burger does it. I use a mini brass candle holder and blue birthday candles to burn the thread, which I prefer over manually breaking it. I am constantly on the hunt for a good, thick and visible cotton thread which is easy to break by hand, but I have yet to be satisfied. That is the other reason I use candles. I am also curious to know what brand of dental floss works best for this effect. If anyone knows, please let me know! I have also toyed around with the idea of buying Dragon Thread because it would be a breath of fresh air. |

Johnson & Johnson Reach waxed is the best I have found. Tried some generic brands but they weren't the same.

SHOWS BETTER FOR A LARGE CROWD. I'VE NEVER LIKED THREAD ( WAY TOO SMALL TO BE EFFECTIVE) SO I SENT A SAMPLE TO CHINA AND ORDERED 100 SPOOLS .. ABOUT 100 YDS PER SPOOL .. JOHN

I can't believe this thread (pun intended) has gone this long without a mention of Peter Samelson's Heartstrings.
