I purchased The Yarn by M. Llaser to see if I could adapt its method to finger rings instead of
paper money. I could not although Mr. Llaser claimed it could be done with a simple modification in
the gimmick. That's not the problem I have with the trick, which I have performed many times.
The problem is that the borrowed bill is only attached to the yarn but not tied to it as it
should be to make the illusion better. I don't want to divulge its secret, but I must note that the
person who loans the bill to the magician is the same person who removes the bill from the yarn.
Llaser's instructions on his video claim that it's not a big deal because others in the audience
will believe that the bill is tied to the yarn. That is not true.
I guess in his
performances, members of his audiences never talk to one another or compare notes. If they were to,
the secret of the trick would spread like wildfire. I would steer clear of this trick if I were you
and search for something better.
