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.
