I originally didn't know what to expect from a brand I hadn't used before but once I got the V2
thread I was thrilled. The quality is great, as is the elasticity. It comes with a downloadable
DVD which was very clear and informative, also the new hookup that is taught is brilliant! With 200
feet of thread I can tie a ton of Loops, and the thread isn't shiny so it's going to work well for
loops and for all other threadwork. $15 for a new hookup and great quality thread is the best
deal I've found, so just click add to cart already!

first invisible thread I worked with was Mesikas and was ok.
Took a chance buying the Infinity
V2 considering haven't heard much about it before.
Very happy with the purchase of Infinity V2.
Good strength, flat black and quite invisible.
Fantastic hook up method - I tend to use this
and Losanders hookup alot now. Much cleaner. Will continue to purchase this IET

I still did not use the thread much, since I still am using my last few meters of pet 2.0. But with
a quick examination, I found out infinity v2 is quite invisible, even under sun light. And it feels
quite elastic. I recommend it for DIY loopers.

the thread itself is ok, not good for making loops though. its pretty weak and you cant do ery many
effects withouth the loop breaking. in comparison with mesika:
Mesika:
strength:8/10
invisibility:8/10
stretchiness:9/10
infinity:
strength:6/10
invisibility:7/10
stretchiness:10/10
overall I like mesikas more

The thread itself is not bad. I have used a colorless IET until now, which has served me well for
most situations, but sometimes it would shine, so I decided to try the black thread. I'm still not
sure this is any better, but it looks promising, definitely is a little stronger, and seems to have
a little more stretch. The dispenser is a total piece of crap! Remove the spool and put a ball of
wax on the end of the thread. No matter how gingerly you handle the dispenser it breaks the thread,
then you have to disassemble it, find the end and re assemble it, only to have it break/cut the
thread again. The spool does not spin freely and there are numerous sharp edges for the thread to
snag on. TIP: when the thread breaks dont panic, just blow on the spool as you turn it and the end
will free itself. i had to do this 5 times before I threw the dispenser away.

The Infinity V2 is a high quality thread all around: good invisibility, good strength, and good
stretch. The thread doesn't reflect much light and is very thin. So far, I've been able to use the
same hookup to practice with for a few hours and then perform with it several times. The only time I
broke the hookup was when I was purposely pushing the limits of how far the thread would stretch.
Also, the hookup method that comes with the thread is fantastic. Even if the thread was
subpar, I'd recommend buying it just to learn the hookup method. The demo video doesn't lie and
isn't misleading, you can do exactly what you see there and do it easily.
If you work with
IET, or want to START working with IET, add to cart now.

This is my first IET. In most situations the thread is completely invisible. I can imagine that with
good audience control you could use lighting to your advantage and perform it anywhere, although I
stick with less brightly lit settings for now.
I use this for a number of telekinetic
effects, but for a floating ring the ring needs to be quite light. Perhaps it's the knot that slips
or the thread itself that breaks (impossible to check). If you take that into account, the thread is
awesome. I'm surprised at how convenient it is to carry a loop around your wrist, and what
incredible effects you can perform with it. I prefer to do somewhat "understated" effects (e.g.,
making the ring balance on my finger and then stick to my finger) instead of blatantly floating it
in mid-air, because I want to create the illusion of something that ALMOST seems possible, but not
quite.

This product is great. The strength if the thread seems much stronger than the same thread by
Mesika. I have less breakages and it is extremely invisible. Some have mentioned that the dispenser
is crappy but that should in no way deter you from purchasing this stuff. The new hookup is
fantastic. It has allowed me to be prepared in any circumstance to create beautiful levitations
instantly and then, just like loops the set up is back in place and ready to go. I have come up with
a few new ideas on using this hookup method as I'm sure you will too with a bit of playing. Often
times whilst practicing with regular thread and hookups I find myself getting tangled and breaking
threads just in practice time let alone in real world performances. This thred has allowed me to
perform over and over again with one setup and there is no need for stealing back a ball of wax or
danger of loose thread getting caught up in clothing or jewelry. Not to mention its much cheaper
than other elastic thread and comes in a 200ft spool. I've made over 50 setups and loops and still
have ample thred left. I won't be buying any other elastic thread again. If you are sitting on the
fence jump off and purchase v2. You won't be disappointed.

This is by far the most invisible thread I've owned. When using bands around the wrist it is so
invisible you have to learn to find it on your arm by pinching it. I've never been spotted doing
levitations and stuff. The only downside is that they break really often, but you can't have it all
considering it's invisibility.

The stars were dropped from 5 to 1 --- because
its quality is too good to be practically used
in real show >>> it is so thin that you can't
even see where the tread is to start, how can
you
gracefully do the trick ?!
