Review: Best for close-up magicians, mentalists, and impromptu performers - I purchased Loops by Yigal Mesika because it is one of the most well-known invisible thread products in the magic community. These pre-made elastic threads allow magicians to perform levitation, animation, and telekinesis-style effects with everyday objects like playing cards, dollar bills, and rings. Designed for ease of use, they provide a practical solution for impromptu magic with minimal setup. β€” Pros & Cons Analysis Pros: 1. Convenient and Ready-to-Use β€’ Unlike traditional invisible thread, Loops come pre-made in a perfect circular shape, eliminating the hassle of stripping and tying delicate threads. β€’ Saves time and effort, making them great for magicians who want instant accessibility. 2. Ultra-Thin and Nearly Invisible β€’ Loops are extremely thin and blend well in various lighting conditions, making them nearly undetectable under proper angles and conditions. β€’ Great for close-up magic, provided there is proper lighting control. 3. Strong Yet Flexible β€’ The elasticity of Loops allows for smooth and natural motion when animating objects, making effects look fluid and organic. β€’ Can stretch without breaking too easily, allowing for a range of effects without constant replacements. 4. Portability & Convenience β€’ Small, lightweight, and easy to carry anywhere. β€’ Can be worn around the wrist or stored in a wallet without tangling, making them excellent for impromptu performances. 5. Great for Beginners & Professionals β€’ Easy enough for beginners to learn basic levitations and animations without extensive setup. β€’ Still powerful enough for professionals to integrate into high-level routines. 6. Includes Quality Instructions β€’ Most versions come with Yigal Mesika’s instructions, which include solid routines and handling tips. β€’ The Animated Miracles booklet or Loops Legends video (if included) adds value, teaching practical effects like the Floating Bill, Haunted Deck, and Moving Objects. Cons: 1. Fragility & Limited Lifespan β€’ Despite their elasticity, Loops are delicate and can break easily, especially if mishandled. β€’ Can be frustrating for beginners who accidentally overstretch them, leading to frequent replacements. 2. Lighting & Angle Sensitivity β€’ Under certain lighting conditions (e.g., strong backlight or overhead lights), Loops can become visible, requiring careful audience positioning. β€’ Some angles reveal the thread, meaning performances must be well-rehearsed. 3. Price vs. Longevity β€’ Loops are relatively expensive compared to bulk invisible thread options. β€’ Since each pack contains only 5-8 Loops, frequent performers may need to restock often, increasing costs over time. 4. Limited Strength β€’ Loops work best for lightweight objects like bills, cards, or small rings. β€’ Heavier objects may break the Loop or limit movement, restricting certain effects. β€” Constructive Comments and Recommendations Who Should Buy Loops? β€’ Close-Up Magicians & Mentalists: Loops excel in intimate performance settings, particularly for those who perform street magic, restaurant magic, or casual bar tricks. β€’ Beginner Magicians: Those new to thread work will appreciate the ease of pre-made Loops compared to raw invisible thread, which requires more setup and expertise. β€’ Workers & Professionals: For magicians who perform often and need a reliable, hassle-free method of levitation and animation, Loops are a worthy investment. Who Might Want to Look Elsewhere? β€’ Stage Performers: Due to visibility concerns, Loops may not be ideal for large venues or stage magic. Thicker invisible thread or alternative levitation methods would be preferable. β€’ Budget-Conscious Magicians: Those who want an economical alternative may prefer buying bulk invisible thread and tying their own loops to save on long-term costs. β€’ Performers Working with Heavier Objects: If you need to move or levitate heavier items, stronger invisible thread or IT reels may be a better fit. β€” FINAL THOUGHTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS After using this product I'm able to honestly recommend Loops by Yigal Mesika as one of the best invisible thread products available, offering unmatched convenience and versatility for close-up magic. While they have limitations in durability and object weight capacity, their ease of use and portability make them an essential tool for any magician. If you’re willing to handle them carefully and accept the cost of periodic replacements, Loops are a fantastic addition to your magic repertoire. Review: These New Loops are Strong! - TLDR: Make sure you get the ones called "New Loops". They are made of magic! I substitute teach and use magic tricks as a carrot. To engage the students to make sure they actually focus on school work and learn while I am there. One of my favorites for the older kids is a pick a card magically pulling from the deck using a key card and loops. I needed replacements because I had snapped all my old ones, and saw these New Loops. Decided newer must be better, and I was right! These are MUCH stronger than the previous ones. In fact, this may be TMI, but I was in the shower after school one day and noticed something tugging on my wrist. Turns out it was the loop that was still intact. This never would have happened with the previous version... If like me, there's no way you can tie your own Loops, these are very much worth the money. The only negative I can think of is they may be SLIGHTLY more visible. But the difference is severely negligible. Just be aware of your lighting and angles.

What actually shows up in the mail?** A: OK on 52kards.com there are 8. As far as I know of every loop has 8 that come with it. I dont know about the loops by yigal mesika. but the loops improved and the loops new generation for sure has 8 in it. But 52kards sells 8. But on Amazon it's 8. Not 5 **Q: How many packets are there?** A: One packet containing an index card with five loops around it. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best for close-up magicians, mentalists, and impromptu performers *by L***I on February 4, 2025* I purchased Loops by Yigal Mesika because it is one of the most well-known invisible thread products in the magic community.

They do work, just a large learning curve, and pricey to replace as often as needed. ## Frequently Bought Together - Loops by Yigal Mesika - Loops New Generation (Set of 8) by Yigal Mesika - Loops Improved by Yigal Mesika --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1297237-loops-by-yigal-mesika](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/1297237-loops-by-yigal-mesika) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
