Imagine all of the routine possibilities with the New Locking ITR, finally we have achieved our goal of a practical locking ITR after 10 years of extensive research and development. The reel opens up many new doors of possibilities we have been limited with on the Original style ITR. Now the floating rose is easy and practical to set up in seconds! With no tension on the line you can easily do the animation, this was not possible with the original reels. Not to mention the hundreds of other routines out there that require no tension on the line. This has been the most requested reel from professional Magicians everywhere and finally we are happy to be able to make this available to you.
This reel offers you hundreds of routine possibilities including all the routines you are currently doing with other fad thread gimmicks. There is a very good reason why we sell as many ITR’s today as the first year it was released, it is reliable, it is practical and simple. No batteries and only one moving part make this reel the Magicians best friend! It is the Ultimate solution for your close-up Levitation needs, close up levitation was a nightmare prior to the release of the ITR, now it is simple, practical and proven itself over the last 18 years of success!
I received the locking reel today and played around with it both magically and technically. It is a true thing of beauty! Many younger magicians may not even imagine what can be done with a stationary piece of Invisible Thread, so I think you should do a special, companion DVD/manuscript on performing classic animations of magic, like the Al Baker "Card That Walks Out of a Hat." I was playing with this very effect, and the beauty of your reel is that you can get exactly the length of thread you need before you lock it down, and that avoids accidental breakages that can occur when you have a length of thread just wound up on a card, or some other such method. I am not big on thread levitation's: It was Leipzig who, on the last floating card of a rising card routine, reached over, grabbed a pair of scissors, and cut his thread. The card , of course, fell to the ground, 'clunk', and Leipiz quipped, "How else?" while the audience roared. Also, I hate the tell tale wobble and swing that suspended objects display. Regardless of whether one like levitation's, there are many ways to use this new reel of yours to create more subtle effects in which the audience would never even suspect thread as the means, and that's what I'm excited about. Congratulations on a wonderful piece of apparatus! I can't wait to start using it! I will be sending out your payment in the morning. THANKS!!!
