if you were wearing a watch you could make the piece of tape smaller and wrap it through your watch a few times, and put the tape under it.

Nice, I've been learning some really cool card magic and other tricks for free over at http://www.cardtricks101.com/secrets/?id=4173

You can also use old pantyhose. I use it in a pinch when I have no invisible thread. Also, an easier way to do this impromptu with any CD is to use magician's wax and attach it to the CD. Remember to wrap the thread around the wax several times so it doesn't come off.

Very nice. I love it. What kind of glue do you use? If I was to shop for this "invisible string" What brand/product name should I look for? Is this an original idea?
Ramnosity in reply to reratAug 24, 2007. 1:39 PM
no I've had invisible string before. You can buy it at most magic stores
Kiteman in reply to reratAug 23, 2007. 4:41 AM
Our local knitting/sewing shop sells "invisible thread" - it's very fine, monofilament nylon, sort of thin, weak fishing line. It is very hard to see, but an absolute bugger to knot.
Vater Araignee in reply to KitemanSep 22, 2007. 4:43 AM
As a working magician allow me to tell you that it is crap. Clear nylon is highly refractive and very visible even in a dimly lit club. Even the smoked version is junk, if you want to make IT then you need to find a matte black mono filament.
Kiteman in reply to Vater AraigneeSep 22, 2007. 5:32 AM
I think you mean reflective. It is also highly transparent, so it does not show up against clothing when you sew with it, hence the name "invisible". If you were paying attention, you would have noticed that I said it came from a knitting/sewing shop, not a magicians' supplier.

Plus, can we watch the language, please? Minors read this site.
Hands Without Shadows in reply to KitemanMay 2, 2008. 9:35 PM
Its a family site........not kindergarten. Crap is a perfectly acceptable word to use.
Vater Araignee in reply to KitemanSep 22, 2007. 5:46 AM
No re·frac·tion deflection from a straight path undergone by a light ray or energy wave in passing obliquely from one medium (as air) into another (as glass) in which its velocity is different If you where paying attention, this is about appearing to levitate with no apparent means "not" sewing. Oh, what exactly did I type that would be considered age inappropriate for somebody old enough to understand most of the information (or even 2%) on this site?
Kiteman in reply to Vater AraigneeSep 22, 2007. 6:00 AM
This is the trouble with modern life - people don't even realise when they swear.

You forgot the synonyms: Utter obscenities or profanities.

Do you attempt to cover your own ignorance by attempting pedantry very often?
neubaten in reply to KitemanNov 23, 2007. 5:42 PM
well hey dude you said "bugger" and as far as offensive goes to sodomise someone has to be on about the same level as "crap"
Kiteman in reply to neubatenNov 24, 2007. 4:45 AM
Point to you, using international English.

I sometimes forget that inoffensive idioms of my birth vernacular are more offensive when used elsewhere.

It's like holding doors open. In Cumberland, holding a door open for a woman is good manners. In Manchester it is sexist. In London it's a good way of getting stuck in the door as the next forty people try and push through the same open door.
neubaten in reply to KitemanNov 26, 2007. 3:47 AM
I feel your pain..... 0_o context is everything its a postmodern world we live in
Vater Araignee in reply to KitemanSep 22, 2007. 7:14 AM
Oh? Do explain exactly what profanity I used and how it is defined as a such. And yes I know I neglected to proof my last post and unfortunately the ability to edit is not given. Of course I have read other posts by you so technically the plural usage would apply, though it was not intended. Obviously when you made the failed attempt at correcting me and included your quip you where attempting to bait me into something other than the intended spirit of the instructable. I sunk and got hooked so reel me in and finish it. If you can.
Kiteman in reply to Vater AraigneeSep 22, 2007. 3:04 PM
Here's a hint - references to faecal matter are normally acceptable in polite circles.

As for fishing, that's not something I generally do. If you're searching for a fish-related analogy, though, I think the words shooting and barrel would have been more accurately employed.

Oh, and if you're interested in a little irony, check the tenth definition. Yes, I know it's a boolean artefact, but it still raises a smile in the context...
Vater Araignee in reply to KitemanSep 22, 2007. 3:39 PM
Crap as it pertains to being a noun definition 2 sometimes vulgar : NONSENSE, RUBBISH; also : STUFF 4b So I guess I was not referring to feces. And I do get a smile using that word in that particular context, obfuscation is part of the job after all. ;-)
damasta in reply to Vater AraigneeOct 19, 2007. 12:32 PM
in britain or the US of A they sell "wooly nylon", buy that, and strip it (take one thin piece of string out) should work as good as professional magicians invisible thread (usually it's even the same thing)
Vater Araignee in reply to damastaOct 19, 2007. 9:14 PM
It is all I've ever used.
garrettmikesmith in reply to reratAug 21, 2007. 11:53 PM
wooly nylon
joejoerowley says: Aug 22, 2007. 5:48 AM
This pretty cool. I like it.

some e 5 minute epoxy. Spider string is the best but nylon like in thuis video its perfect too.
