Loops - PK Magic Trick by Yigal Mesika

The Original...and the Best...A lot of similar and cheaper items out there but not as good quality as Mesika loops....Please note ,,This item is NOT a toy and are for experienced magicians...hence the bad ratings from other customers....I've forgot to take the loop off and slept and showered and still found it on my wrist [lucky,i know]....so if you know the limitations of Loops [ I only float paper money,cards.empty crisp packets etc] they will last.....So I'll recommend for the Semi/Pro Magician......

Amazing effect. They are the best quality thred for the tricks I use them for. Cheaper quality ones are more visible and don't stretch anywhere near as far as these do.If you are careful with them you will get a lot of use out of them. But if you abuse the threshold of the elastic they will break...hence so many bad reviews. It's not the product that's rubbish...it's the handling of the product that causes them to break.My advice is to look on YouTube for some tutorials that will show you how to loosen the thred up to its maximum elasticity therefore giving you maximum use of the item.Massively recommend this item as it will add an effect to your card tricks that always leaves people astonished.One of the closest things to real magic.

Received this item today, don't be misled by the picture as you don't receive a box of loops but a single card with five loops, which is stated in the description. The item was sent in an A5 sized second class stamped envelope with card backing so why postage is £2.20 is beyond me. The loops themselves are very very weak and broke after one trick so I suggest if you buy these for someone then make sure the recipient is a semi pro magician as these were useless for my twelve year old son who spent some of his Christmas money on this item and is now disheartened. Ironically the one star I have given is for delivery time of two days. I suggest using invisible cotton thread instead of this item to gain experience and practice.

If these are the first loops you are buying, don't use them! Save them! Go on eBay and learn how to master this manipulation trick, get a real feel for them and then go back to these loops, they are the best on the market but to be honest, stupidly overpriced for what they actually are

I like the tricks you can do with this but i feel i was mislead by both the picture and price. The item itself is nice to work with but is fragile (if your a beginner). But what i can't understand is the steep price of this product for what is essentially a piece of A4 paper with some basic instructions (that i could find online for free) and 5 pieces of string. I plan to now examine how these loops are made / look else where to find a cheaper way to to get more loops (while practicing i broke 3)

The loops are okay for use with very lightweight objects, but snap easily when trying to move items like metal forks. I have broken two loops trialling them already and have only three left to work with from within the pack. I sadly do not have confidence to use them in front of an audience. Disappointed to find only five loops supplied for the money asked.

These are great. Be aware: they are very delicate. They break very easily, but that is due to the fact that they are so thin! Practice with normal elastic first and work your way to these. Warm them up before use. Gently stretching them to just under the max and they will last longer. I had to do a trick off the cuff for work and had not warmed them up and one broke straight away, but be careful, and warm up and they are awesome! Have fun!

Great item of a high quality - just bought the loops and already find them absolutely brilliant.The emotional impact they produce on the spectator is unforgettable (by the spectator :) ).Extremely easy to master and use. I would recommend using them in a well lit mix background environment (where the light source is in front of the presenter).
