Hi fellow magicians,
please can you help me figure out what are the basic rules with using I.T and lighting conditions.
Shall we face the lighting facing us or have it behind us ? (for example : the sun, or a window letting light through, inside an interior)
What about performing on stage and having light above us ?

When shall we never perform I.T, what are the worse conditions ?

Sorry if I ask much questions, I just wanna make sure I can have as much information as possible with your help.

thank you !

Look into Michael Ammar's " Easy to Master Thread Miracles "
He has a 3 volume dvd series and may be available on a download. Also look up Steve Fearson, Finn Jon, John Le Clair and many others which will help you regarding your questions.

There are different types of IT for different types of settings as well as the effects you want to achieve, not one thread fits all. Yes, lighting is certainly a consideration so a non elastic thread may be beneficial so as not to reflect the light.

If you can have a light that is in front of you, pointing into their eyes, you got it made...
