The demo given in the advert looks amazing and the actual levitations haunted decks and coing flying
across look insane as well....But they don't show you the bizarre looking hand gestures you will be
making to get in and out of the position you need to be in to do the tricks. Yes the actual hook up
is simple and the reel is of excellent quality. However in live performance your hand will look way
to unnatural and you will be making very strange hand movements to get into and out of position.
This is probably why a full uncut demonstration was NOT shown of this cause it would have scared
many people away, Myself being one of them. I sold it to someone else at a 14 dollar loss so I was
able to recoup some of my money. Unless you are already into thread work don't get this. It is not
as simple as it seems.

I picked up Invisible expecting to literally bend time and space (as the DVD suggests). Initially, I
was disappointed, The video is missing some very important explanations and details. The "setup" is
good, and the "gimmick" is of top quality, and that is it s saving grace. If you are a little
innovative and can experiment, the routines taught on the DVD can springboard you to achieve
greater, better magic. Without giving too much away, I had to email the creators to explain a few
portions of the DVD, and then wait for a reply. Try what they suggested, then email again. They
neglect to mention key elements (like exact placement of the hands, specific fluid motions etc).
BUT! If you are shopping for a (internet edit gimmick) Pick this up FIRST. Top quality item for the
same price as without the DVD.

The routines are killer, but not worth the price itself, the gimmick/reel is basicaly a ITR boss
reel, it normaly costs anything between 25-50 bucks, so i dont get the part where they calim that
the price for the complet pack (DVD+reel) is a great buy becasue simalar reels are sold for twice
the price.
Overall great routines etc, but if you are new to threadwork stay away, just buy some
magicians wax and cheap IT and have fun with that instead :) but if you are experienced threadworker
i would recommend this if you want to learn some new handlings/routines etc!

This WILL be the best system you will have ever used!! Believe me, I've tried numerous levitation
effects before. I've struggled with the complicated setups ans so forth. Invisible is an easy system
to use, and get use to! There is a reason why Invisible keeps selling out! Its that darn good, and
the word have spread. I've recommended this to quite a few of my magic buddies. And they've all
loved Invisible. So...do yourself a favor and get it RIGHT MEOW!!! :)

Several unique hookups that allow for some very visual suspensions and animations. Will take some
work to get smooth at getting into and out of the necessary positions and you will definitely be
breaking lots of IT while practicing, but well worth it if u can master. I really like the anchor
points of the basic setup. Always ready to go but out of your way.

The DVD included is put together in a really weird way, you have to watch the performance and then
go back to the menu and watch the explanation. Also, unless I'm mistaken. There is no video telling
you how to fix the reel when the thread breaks (at first), there is two paragraphs in the booklet
telling you how to fix it. There is also a video in the mypenguinmagic that shows you how the thread
works, which helped me figure out how to fix mine. (I may or May not have fiddled with the gimmick
and messed it up) the routines are very nice, there are some weird gestures you have to make to get
the thread in the right position. But the point of the routine is to give you ideas, which let you
find a more fluent way of getting the thread into position.
I would recommend this to people
who have some experience with ITRs or loops, so they know about how much you can count on them to
not break, the setup for this makes the thread not break as often. A vertical setup instead of a
diagonal or horizontal. The reel has some problems winding back up, it gets stuck. All you have to
do is adjust the angle the thread is going in and it works fine. Overall very happy with this and
would be five stars if there was some sort of video explaining basics of how to fix common problems.

The overall trcik was amazing, and the set up was very simple, but the overall quality of the
gimmick was very poor. It broke before I even got to perform it, and it breas very easily. The idea
behind it was great, and I recommend that you are very careful with it :)

While I love the effect and thought the instructions were good (he teaches a few other effects
besides the main one), I found that the way in which the effect was created put a great deal of
stress on the gimmick ...causing it to fail. My ITR that came with the package has fractures
throughout the tube, so I'm not impressed with the quality of the supplies. On the plus side I did
learn how to make a ring hover horizontally...I've even improved on his technique. When I do it the
ring is completely flat...wow does that look cool...even from inches away it just seems to be
hovering there
I have played with many itr hook-ups in the past but Invisible was the most practical, easiest to
get into the effect and the most amazing levitations. The description says it comes with 6 tricks
yet it only really comes with 4 but with three versions of the haunted pack. Probably the most
impressive trick on the dvd and the reason most people bought invisible is the ring. The ring is
amazing and leaves spectators baffled. I highly recommend that you pick up invisible. You won't be
sorry!
